COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
Office ot thb Board of Raii^road Commissioners,

Raleigh^ December ^i^ i8gi.

To His Excellency Thomas M. Holt,

Goifernor of North Carolina, p

Sir : — In compliance with law, the Railroad Commissioners
respectfully submit their first report,; beginning the first day of April,
1891.

On the first day of April, 1891, members of the Board of Com-
missioners convened at the Capitol in Raleigh. Present — James W.
Wilson, Chairman; T. W. Mason and E. C. Beddingfield, Associate
Commissioners.

After taking the prescribed oath of oflBce, administered by Asso-
ciate Justice A. C. Avery, of the Supreme Court, they proceeded to
the election of H. C. Brown, Clerk of the Board.

After their organization, as soon as practicable, the Commissioners
proceeded to adopt Rules of Practice in cases and proceedings before
the Commission, and also rules governing the transportation of
freight and passengers, in pursuance of the Act creating the Com-
mission. Before entering upon this work. Chairman Wilson visited
the Commissioners of Georgia and made a study of their rules and
procedure and the workings of the Commission in that State. The
Chairman v. as induced to make this visit because the Act of 'North
Carolina was similar to that of Georgia in many respects, which
latter Act had been in operation for a period ol ten years. It also
appeared that the Act of Congress, creating the Inter-state Commerce
Commission, had been copied by the General Assembly in many of
its sections and provisions. Therefore, in adopting Rules of Practice
and rules governing the transportation of freight and passengers, the
Board have followed mainly those adopted by the Inter-state Com-
merce Commission and the Commission of Georgia, making such

4 REPORT OF NORTHJCAROLINA

changes therein as the dififerences in the North Carolina Act and our
conditions suggested. These rules are herewith filed and appear as
a part of this report.

The enormous amount of capital invested in the leading trunk
lines, and the power thus granted without control, necessarily led to
excesses and the want of proper regard to the rights of citizens.
This led to mutual distrust and want of confidence, whereby the
public interest as well as the success of the railroads suffered. The
interest of each is promoted by good feeling and mutual prosperity.
To deny corporations a -reasonable and fair compensation on their
investment, or burden them with unreasonable legislation, as well as
taxation? is contrary to public policy, it being evident that the pros-
perity of railroads enables them to give better accommodations and
to serve the public more satisfactorily. The Commission has in .all
matters endeavored to adopt a conservative course as a friendly umpire
between the railroads and the public; and the universal courtesy
shown by the various officials, and their readiness to redress griev-
ances, induces us to believe that our efforts in this regard have been
of benefit.

As the Commission has been in operation only a portion of a year,
the report is necessarily imperfect. We can briefly state, however,
that on all roads making actual expenses, the charges for fare and
freights have been reduced; and all unjust discriminations, origina-
ting within the State, under our control and brought to our attention,
have been corrected. The Commissioners' standard rates now in
effect are lower than in any other Southern State. Until our popu-
lation becomes more dense, and manufactories more numerous, rates
cannot be established as now exist in States north of us without
bankrupting the corporations.

The taxable property of the railroads was assessed:

In 1890 at $12,321,704.00

In 1891 at 18,423,298.28

Showing an increase of $ 6,101,594.28

In making a fair and uniform rate of taxation, the Commission
was much embarrassed, for the following reasons: Two of the very
largest systems, viz., the Seaboard Air Line and Wilmington &

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. 5

I

Weldon and Atlantic Coast Line, claimed, the former partial and the
latter entire, exemption from taxation, for all time, for its main line
and so-called branches; in fact, go so far as to claim the right, if
desired, to build a branch line from Goldsboro or Wilmington to
Murphy, from the extreme east to the extreme west, and to be pro-
tected by the exemption clause of the Act. This assumption is con-
troverted by the Commission, and a suit is now pending by which it
is hoped to compel them to bear their just proportion of the public
burdens. Another difiBculty was from the fact that many existing
roads did not make their actual expenses, and consequently could
meet no tax at all commensurate with the cost of construction. The
projectors of these lines being, not speculators, but enterprising,
progressive citizens and counties, expected their earnings in* the
advancement of their section, and not in dividends. Upon such a
seemingly low rate was fixed.

The machinery for taxation, as prescribed in section 47 of the Act
constituting the Commission a Board of Appraisers, was drawn to
meet the case of the North Carolina Railroad, and can be applied to
no other, from the fact that, by its charter, its road-bed is exempt
from taxation, and the 'capital stock bearing a market value, which
is an exception to all other roads not claimed to be altogether free
from taxation. By attempting to apply the method, as indicated
above, its impracticability will be at once discovered. The net earn-
ings of an entire road, or a portion of a road, was considered the just
basis for valuation, and not the cost of construction. As an illustra-
tion, the Western North Carolina Railroad was assessed in three
divisions — the first, from Salisbury to Old Fort, being first-class in
every respect, streams crossed with iron bridges and stone viaducts,
the track laid with heavy steel rail, entitled it to a good valuation.
The mountain section, upon which the grading of one mile would
equal in cost that of ten miles on the first division, was rated lower,
for the reason that an assisting engine is necessary to overcome the
mountain grade, thereby increasing the expense of its management
and thus reducing net profits. The third division, from Asheville to
Murphy, has even steeper grades, the crossings of streams made with
temporary structures, laid mostly with old chair rail, having been in
service since 1856. This section has never earned actual expenses.

6 REPORT OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

and cannot, with any degree of justice, be rated as either the first or
second.

The horrible disaster at Bostian bridge, on the Western North
Carolina Railroad, resulting in the death of twenty-two persons and
the seriously maiming of twenty-six, would certainly come within the
purview of the Act empowering the Commission to investigate at
their discretion the cause of the wreck. Agreeable thereto, a careful
examination was made, and information obtained from every possible
source, and the result is now on file in this office. The Act does not
clearly define what further action should be taken, or to whom or
when a report should be made, and, as the responsibility of the acci-
dent is to be judicially determined, we deem it improper to embody
our views in this report.

Telegraph and Express rates have been reduced and made uniform.
Copies of these tariffs are herewith attached and made a part of this
report.

There are sixty-seven railroads in North Carolina with a total
mileage of 3,432 miles, every county in the State being penetrated
by one or more roads, except the counties of Alleghany, Ashe, Clay,
Dare, Graham, Hyde, Pamlico, Transylvania, Tyrrell, Watauga,
Yadkin and Yancey.

The various complaints made to the Commission, and our action
upon the same, are also embodied in this report. Other complaints,
not of public importance, do not appear. These were called to the
attention of the management complained of and were readily
redressed.

As another report has to be submitted before the next session of
the Legislature convenes, we have deferred until then any sugges-
tions we' may have to make for the perfection of the Act.

Respectfully submitted,

JAMES W. WILSON,

Chairman,

T. W. MASON,

E. C. • BEDDINGFIELD,

Associate Commissioners.

IN

CASES AND PROCEEDINGS,

AD0F>TE:D AF>RIL 21, ISQl.

PUBLIC SESSION.

1. The general sessions of the Commission for the hearing of con-
tested cases will be held at its office in the Agricultural Building,
Raleigh, N. C, on such days and at such hours as the Commission
may designate. Sessions for receiving, considering and acting upon
petitions, communications and applications relating to business before
the Commission, and also for considering and acting upon any busi-
ness of the Commission other than contested cases, will be held,
unless otherwise directed, at its said office in Raleigh, at 11 o'clock
A. M., on Wednesday of every week. When special sessions are held
at other places such regulations as may be necessary will be made by
the Commission.

PABTIES.

2. Where a complaint concerns anything done or omitted to be
done by only a single carrier no other need be made a party, but if
it relates to joint tariffs, or matters in which two or more carriers
doing business under a common control, management or arrange-
ment for a continuous carriage or shipment are interested, all the
carriers constituting such line must be made parties. A complaint
may embrace several carriers, or lines of carriers, operated separately,
in the same proceeding, when the subject-matter of the complaint
involves substantially the same alleged violation of the law by the
several carriers or lines. Persons or carriers not parties may apply,
in any pending case or proceeding, for leave to intervene and to be
heard upon the questions involved.

34 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

GENERAL RULES.

PBOCEEDDfOS BEFORE THE COMHISSIOB.

3. All petitions and complaints made before the Commission for
redress of alleged grievances, must plainly and distinctly set forth
the grounds of complaint; the items being numbered and objections
all set forth in writing. In like manner all defences must be dis-
tinctly set forth in writing, and the items numbered as above stated.
These specifications, whether of complaint or defence, may be accom-
panied, if the parties desire, by an explanation or argument, or by
any suggestion as to the proper remedy of policy, and may be veri-
fied by the affidavit of the party complaining or petitioning, taken
before any person authorized to administer oaths in North Carolina,
and when the complaint or petition is verified, then the answer thereto
shall be verified, and the verification shall conform to the rules pre-
scribed in The Code of North Carolina for the verification of plead-
ings. The parties may also be heard in person or by attorney, or by
written argument, upon such written statement being first filed.

4. If a carrier complained against shall deem the complaint insuf-
ficient to show a breach of legal duty, it may, instead of filing an
answer, serve on the complainant notice for a hearing of the case on
the complaint ; and in case of the service of such notice, the facts
stated in the complaint will be taken as admitted. A copy of the
notice must at the same time be filed with the Commission. The
filing of an answer will not be deemed an admission of the sufficiency
of the complaint, but a motion to dismiss for insufficiency may be
made at the hearing.

SERVICE OF PAPERS.

5. Copies of notices or other papers must be served upon the oppo-
site parties to the proceeding, personally or by mail, and when any
party shall have appeared by attorney the service upon the attorney
shall be deemed proper service upon the party.

AHEITDMENTS.

6. Upon application by any petitioner or party, amendments may
be allowed by the Commission, in its discretion, to any petition,
answer, or other pleading in any proceeding before the Commission.

RULES OF PRACTICE, 35

ADJOITENKEVT ASD EXTEKSIOV OF TIKE.

7. Adjournment and extension of time may be granted upon the
application of parties in the discretion of the Commission.

STIPULATIOSrS.

8. Parties to cases and proceedings before the Commissioners may,
by stipulation, duly signed by them and filed with the Secretary,
agree upon the facts, or any portion of the facts, they deem to be
involved in the controversy, which agreed statement shall be regarded
and used as evidence. It is desirable that the facts be thus agreed
upon whenever practicable.

EEAsnras.

9. Upon issue being joined by the service of answer, the Commis-
sion will assign a time and place for hearing the same, which will be
at its office in Raleigh, N. C. , unless otherwise ordered. Witnesses
will be examined orally before the Commission, unless testimony be
taken or facts agreed upon as otherwise provided in these rules. The
petitioner or complainant must in all cases prove the existence of the
facts alleged to constitute a violation of the act, unless the carrier
complained of shall admit the same, or shall fail to answer the com-
plaint. Facts alleged in the answer must also be proved by the
carrier, unless admitted by the petitioner. In cases of failure to
answer, the Commission will take such proof of the charge as may
be deemed reasonable and proper, and make such order thereon as
the circumstances of the case appear to require.

wmrEssES and DEPosiTioirs.

10. Subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses will be issued
by any member of the Commission in all cases and proceedings before
it, and witnesses will be required to obey the subpoenas served upon
them requiring their attendance or the production of any books,
papers, tariffs, contracts, agreements or documents relating to any
matter under investigation or pending before the Commission. When
a subpoena is desired for the production of books, papers or other
documentary evidence, special application must be made to the Com-
mission therefor, specifying the documentary evidence desired. When
a cause is at issue on petition and answer, each party may proceed at
once to take depositions of witnesses in the manner provided by sec-

2,6 BOARD OF. RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

tioti 1357 of The Code of North Carolina, and transmit them to the
Secretary of the Commission without making any application to or
obtaining any authority from the Commission for that purpose.

PROPOSED PINDnrGS OP PACT.

11. Upon the final submission of a case to the Commission either
party may submit proposed findings of fact for the consideration of
the Commission, which findings must embrace only the material facts
of the case supposed to be established by the testimony.

REPORTS.

12. Each railroad company doing business within the State
of North Carolina shall file in the office of the Commissioners
quarterly reports of its gross earnings upon a printed form (B).

POSTnrGr TARIPPS.

13. Each railroad company doing business within the State of
North Carolina shall post, and keep posted, at each of its respective
stations, in a conspicuous place, a copy of the schedules of freight
and passenger rates prescribed for said road by the Commission,
together with a copy of the Commissioners' Classification, and a
table of distances between stations, giving name of each station.
And when any change in said schedule of rates or classification is
made, either by the Commission or by any railroad company, a copy
of said change shall be immediately furnished the office of the
Commissioners, and shall also be posted in the same manner as the
above.

14. The rates prescribed by the Commission shall (except in cases
specified) apply in either direction.

STANDARD FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TARIFFS. 37

STANDARD FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TARIFFS.

STANDARD FA8SS5GER TARIFF.

First Class, Second Class.

Twelve years and older yA^- per mile. 2^^c. per mile.

Over 5 and under 12 years of age — One-half first-class fare.

RULES GOVERNING THE TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS.

1. Each passenger shall be entitled to baggage not exceeding one
hundred and fifty pounds.

2. No more than the schedule of passenger rates shall be charged
where the ticket office at any station shall not have been open for a
reasonable time before the departure from a station of the train upon
which the passenger intends to be transported.

3. At junction points, where the incoming trains arrive so near
the leaving time of the out-going train that it is not practicable for
a passenger to procure a ticket, no more than the schedule of passen-
ger rates shall be charged.

4. Railroad companies are authorized to collect the exact mileage
for passenger fares if they shall make the necessary change to enable
them to do so; but, if not, no more than the nearest amount ending
in 5 or o shall be charged.

5. No railroad company shall be allowed to charge more than ten
cents for full or half-rate between regular stations when the fare
would be less than that amount: Provided^ where the distance is not
greater than two miles or under, the maximum xharge for first-class
tickets shall be ten cents, and five cents for second-class tickets.

6. No more than the standard passenger tariff shall be charged
passengers from flag stations or other stations where tickets are not
kept on sale.

7. When, in consequence of the uncertain time of arrival or
departure of a delayed train, it is impracticable for tickets to be pur-
chased, no more than the regular standard passenger tariflF shall be
charged.

38 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

8. Where a railroad company has provided agents and ofl5ces, ready
and open for the sale of tickets, and the passengers, for want of
proper diligence, fail to supply themselves therewith, before getting
on the train, then ten cents additional for each passenger twelve years
old and over may be demanded and collected for all distances not
greater than ten miles, and twenty cents in like manner for all dis-
tances not less than ten nor greater than twenty miles, and thirty
cents in like manner for all distances over twenty miles. Half these
rates for each passenger over five years old and under twelve years
may in like manner be demanded and collected: Provided^ however^
offices at way stations may be closed one minute before the arrival of
trains.

9. The Commission will consider applications for an advance or
reduction in the standard tariflF for the transportation of passengers,
but no change of rates shall be of effect or put in force until ratified
by the Commission: Provided^ that this rule shall not be construed
as placing any restriction on the privilege of railroad companies to
make special rates on excursion trains, or to issue what are called
'* commutation or mileage tickets:" Provided^ no unjust discrimina-
tion is practiced.

10. Tickets on sale at any office in a city must be kept on sale at
the depot ticket-office of the same railroad at the same prices.

11. That all connecting railroads which are under the management
and control by lease, ownership or otherwise, of one and the same
company, or at connection with a different company, shall be required
to make close connection whenever practicable.

SLEEPnrG CASS.

12. The fare in sleeping cars shall not exceed $1.00 for 100 miles
or less. From 100 to 150 miles, $1.50; between 150 and 200 miles,
$2.00. When a lower berth with the upper berth not lowered is
desired, this is subject to special contract.

13. Railroad Companies in computing passenger rates between
stations where fractions of a mile are to be considered, will calculate
for the nearest even number of miles. Example: For a distance of
10:49 ^il^s or under, charge for ten miles; for 10:50 miles or over,
charge for eleven miles, and so on.

STANDARD FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TARIFFS. 39

RULES GOVERNING THE TRANSPORTATION OF FREIGHT.

1. All connecting railroads, which are under the management and
control, by lease, ownership or otherwise, of one and the same com-
pany, shall, for purposes of transportation, in applying this tariff, be
considered as constituting but one and the same road, and the rates
shall be computed as upon parts of one and the same road, unless
otherwise specified.

DISTAKCES.

2. Since a separate rate cannot be conveniently given for every
possible distance, the law authorizes the Commission ** to ascertain
what shall be the limits of longer and shorter distances." Five (5)
miles has, accordingly, been fixed as the limit for a change of freight
rates for all distances less than one hundred miles; and ten (10) miles
for all distances over one hundred miles. The Commissioners reserve
the right, however, to correct the charge in extreme cases which
work hardship, although the same may not violate the letter of our
rules.

3. For all distances over five (5) miles and under one hundred (100)
miles, the following rule will apply: When the mileage does not end
in o or 5 the nearest mileage so ending shall govern the rate. Illus-
tration: For a distance of twenty-seven miles charge for twenty-five
miles,- for a distance of twenty-eight miles charge for thirty miles.

4. When freight is transported any distance greater than one hun-
dred miles, if the mileage does not end in o, then next ten (10) miles
group above shall govern the rate. Illustration: For one hundred
and twenty-one miles charge for one hundred and thirty.

5. For distances under twenty miles or over two hundred and fifty
miles, a reduction of rates may be made without making a change at
all stations short of two hundred and fifty miles: Provided^ however^
that when any railroad shall make a reduction of rates for distances
over two hundred and fifty miles, the same shall apply to similar dis-
tances on all the roads controlled by the same company, and in no
case shall more be charged for a less than a greater distance.

6. The freight rates prescribed by the Commission are maximum
rates, which shall not be transcended by the railroads. They may

carry, however, at less than the prescribed rates: Provided^ that if
they carry for less for one person, they shall for the like service carry
for the same lessened rate for all persons except as mentioned here-
after; and if they adopt less freight rates from one station, they shall
make a reduction of the same per cent, at all stations along the line
of the road so as to make no unjust discrimination as against any
person or locality. But when there are between any two points in
this State two or more competing roads not under the same manage-
ment or in the same system, then the longer line or lines, in order to
give said points the benefit of competition, may reduce the rates
between said two points below the standard tariff, without making a
corresponding reduction at all stations along the lines of said roads:
Provided^ said reduction shall not make the rates less than the stand-
ard tariff rates for the shortest line between said points: Provided
further^ that before taking effect, the proposed change of rates shall
be submitted to and approved by the Commission.

7. The rates charged for freight service by regular passenger trains
may be one and a-half times that for first-class freight by ordinary
freight trains.

8. No railroad company shall, by reason of any contract with any
express, or other company, decline or refuse to act as a common car-
rier, to transport any article proper for transportation by the train for
which it is offered.

9. Railroad companies may collect twenty-five (25) cents as a mini-
mum charge on a single shipment, however small.

10. No railroad company doing business in this State shall permit
a blockade of any class of freights on account of any arrangement
existing between it and other railroad companies as to the transporta-
tion of freight according to percentages or otherwise.

11. There shall be no secret reduction of rates, nor shall any
bonus be given, or any rebate paid to any person, but the rates shall
be uniform to all, and public.

12. The rates specified for Ores, Sand, Clay, Rough Stone, Com-
mon Brick, Bone, Lumber, Shingles, Laths, Staves, Empty Barrels,
Wood, Straw, Shucks, Hay, Fodder, Corn in ear. Tan-bark, Turpen-
tine, Rosin, Tar, Household Goods, are maximum rates, but the roads

21. In cases in which the classification of any article is lowered by
a percentage, railroad companies which are allowed an increase on
the standard tariflF shall apply the increase allowed to the reduced
classification; but in cases in which the classification of any article is
raised by percentage, railroad companies which are allowed an
increase on the standard tariflF shall not apply said increase to the
already increased classification, but only to the standard tariflf.

22. B®^When any article is too bulky to put in a box car, it shall
be subject to special contract.

23. A ton of all articles is 2,000 pounds. A car load is 20,000
pounds, unless otherwise specified. For loads above 20,000 pounds,

pro rate at car-load rates charged. A car load of green wood is eight
cords. A car load' of dry wood is nine cords. A car load of lumber
(and all articles embraced in lumber) is 24,000 pounds. A car load
of any article enumerated in Class P, except wood and lumber and
articles included in lumber, is 25,000 pounds — shippers to .load and
unload. Provided^ that when a car. is loaded over its marked capacity
by the shipper, the railroad companies are left free to charge for the
excess a rate that will effectually stop a practice fraught with so much
danger to life and property.

24. The regulations of the railroads as to demurrage or detention
of cars are matters of police, with which the Commission will only
interfere upon complaint of abuse.

25. All roads under the same or different management shall make
just and reasonable rates for switching and exchange of business at
connecting points. Rates now in force are continued. Any proposed
change must first be submitted to the Commission. Any charge now
in force and shown to work a hardship will be corrected.

26. All depots situated in incorporated towns and cities in this
State must be kept open each day (Sundays excepted) for the receiv-
ing and delivery of freight as follows: From April ist to September
30th, between the hours of 7 o'clock a. m. and 6 o'clock p. M. From
October ist to March 31st, 7:30 o'clock a. m., and 5 o'clock p. m.,
with an intermission in each case of one hour, from 12 o'clock noon
to I o'clock p. M.

27. Railroad companies whose lines do not exceed ten miles in
length may charge from any point on their road the rates prescribed
for ten miles.

28. On all shipments of freights not governed by Rule i, origi-
nating and terminating in this State, which shall pass over the whole
or portions of two or more roads, not under the same control, the
maximum rates charged on such shipments shall not be greater than
the sum of the local rates on such freights, less ten (10) per cent., for
the distance hauled over each road. The total rate thus ascertained
on such freights, from the point of shipment to the point of destina-
tion, shall be divided in such proportions between the roads over
which such freights pass, so as to give to each road interested in the
shipment its local rate, less ten (10) per cent., for the distance such
shipment is hauled. Nothing in this rule shall be construed to pre-

44

BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

vent the total of any joint rate made under this rule from being
divided in such proportions between the roads interested in the same
as they may agree upon, but a failure to so agree between the roads
interested shall in no way affect the total joint rate to be charged and
collected on, or work delay in the transportation of such freights, or
be a subject of appeal to the Commission by the roads at interest.

29. When railroad rates are affected by water competition the rail-
roads may reduce their rates between points so affected without being
required to reduce intermediate rates: Provided^ however^ that if
complaint is made that such competition rates unjustly discriminate
against other places or persons, the Commissioners will investigate
and rule in each case.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

In the ** Commissioners* Standard Freight Tariff," under the class,
opposite to the distance, if it ends in o (and if not then opposite the
next greater distance), will be found the rate required. Example:
To find the rate for 247 miles, on a box of clothing weighing 100
pounds, opposite the word clothing, in the classification, is seen its
class, i; in the freight tariff under class i, opposite the next greater
distance, 250 miles, is seen the rate 65 cents; in the column ** miles,"
5 signifies five miles or under; 20, twenty miles or over 15, and so on.

RULES FOR COMPUTING FRACTIONS.

When any rate in any Class in the Standard Tariff is raised or
lowered by a per cent, the following rules must be observed:

STANDARD FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TARIFFS. 45

First — If the rate thus raised or lowered is in either of Classes
C, D, F, J, or K, the fraction of a half cent must be retained, as the
following examples will indicate:

Ex. I. — Standard rate 6.5

25 per cent, added — 1.6

Total 8. 1 From which deduct fraction, leav-
ing desired rate of 8 cents.

Ex. 2. — Standard Rate 9.5

20 per cent, added — 1.9

Total II. 4 Substituting 5 for the fraction,

the desired rate is 11.5 cents.

Ex. 3.— Standard Rate 8

20 per cent, added — 1.6

Total 9.6 Substituting 5 for the fraction,

the desired rate is 9.5 cents.

Ex. 4. — Standard Rate 5.5

25 per cent, added — 1.3

Total 6.8 Adding a unit instead of a frac-
tion, the desired rate is 7 cents.
Second. — If the rate thus raised or lowered be in any other Class
than those already mentioned, omit fraction of less than half a cent
and estimate half a cent or more as one cent, thus:

Ex. I. — Standard Rate 17

20 per cent, added — 3.4

Total 20.4 Deducting the fraction, the desired

rate is 20 cents.

Ex. 2. — Standard Rate 18

20 per cent, added — 3.6

Total 21.6 Estimating the fraction as a unit,

the desired rate is 22 cents.
Third. — In making reductions, observe the same manner of
placing figures before deducting the percentage.

46

BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

Narrow-gauge railroads, in fixing rates on all freiglits where a rate
per cariload is given, will count 15,000 pounds for a car load, and
estimate their charge pro rata with rate allowed on standard gauge.

RULES GOVERNING ERECTION AND LOCATION OF DEPOTS.

First. — From and after Wednesday, the first day of April, 1891,
no change of freight or passenger depots or flag stations from their
present location, nor the suspension of the sale of tickets, or the
receiving or forwarding of freights from stations now in use for such
purposes, will be permitted without the consent of this Commission
published in accordance with law.

Second. — Application for the location of depots and the construc-
tion of depot buildings must be filed in the Railroad Commission
office, with all information needed for a full and proper understand-
ing of all interests to be affected thereby.

RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE TRANSPORTATION

OF LIVE STOCK.

The weights g^ven below are estimated and hot actual, and are used
simply to get the rating on Live Stock. To illustrate: One Horse,
Mule or Homed Animal is estimated at the same rate as 2,000 pounds
of any kind of first-class freight at carrier's risk and second-class at
owner's risk. Therefore, the freight charges for fifty miles on one
Horse, Mule, or Horned Animal is the same as on 2,000 pounds of
second-class freight, and would be, according to the Standard Tariff",
carrier's risk, 28 cents per 100 pounds, or $5.60, and at owner's risk,
20 cents per 100 pounds, or $4.00.

EACH.

One Horse, Mule or Horned
Animal 2,000 lbs.

Animals 3i5oo lbs.

Each additional Horse, Mule
or Horned Animal 1,000 lbs.

Stallions, Jacks and Bulls 3,000 lbs.

Yearling Cattle 1,000 lbs.

Calves and Sheep -_ 175 lbs.

or more 150 lbs.

Lambs 100 lbs.

Lambs in lots of five or more-- 75 lbs.

Hogs for market 350 lbs.

Pigs and Stock Hogs 125 lbs.

Pigs, Hogs, Sheep, etc., boxed

own expense. When food is furnished by Carrier, a charge will be
made for the same and collected from Consignee.

48 BOARD OP RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION.

RULES.

I. Gradaated Rates apply to matter weighing
less than 100 lbs. when the rate is under f 2.00 (I)
per 100 lbs. and to matter weighing less than 50
lbs. when the rate is $3.00 (I) or more per 100 lbs.
Examplb: — Between points where the rate per
100 lbs. is $1.75 (H) a box weighing 73 lbs. must be
charged for at the graduated rate under $1.75 (H)
which makes the proper charge on "over 70 to 75
lbs." I1.50.

Packages exceeding 7 lbs., carried by more than
one company, graduate for each company unless
otherwise instructed.

3. When the rate between any two points is
not given in the graduated rates, use the next
higher rate for making price, but do not charge
more than for 100 lbs. at the actual rate. Exam-
ple:— ^The correct charge for 75 lbs. at 80 cents
per 100 lbs. would be 80 cents, and not |i.oo
according to the graduate on 75 lbs. at |i.oo. If
the rate exceeds $20.00 (CC) per 100 lbs., charge
pound rates, but never less than the ^20.00 (CC)
graduated rate for same weight.

3. When the rate i>er 100 lbs. is $2.00 (I) or more,
charge pound rates for 50 lbs. or over ; but the
charge for less than 50 lbs. in weight must not be
greater than the charge for 50 lbs. If less than
$2.00 (I) per 100 lbs. charge graduated rates.

Two or more packages weighing each 20 lbs. or
over forwarded by one shipper at the same time
to one consignee, may be charged for on the
aggregate weight as above.

Packages weighing less than 20 lbs. each
shipped as in the foregoing section, may be ag-
gregated, provided they are estimated and charged
for as weighing 20 lbs. each. Actual weight only
must be entered on the way-bill.

If articles of different classes are aggregated,
the charge must be made at the rate applying to
the highest class.

To properly carry out the above provisions in
regard to aggregating the weights and charges
on two or more packages sent by one shipper to
one consignee, receiving clerks and wagon men
are hereby instructed that in all cases when two
or more articles are shipped at the same time to
one address, to mark distinctly on each and every
article, the number receipted for, and the hour of
the day, thus: 3 pkgs. 11 a. m., 2 pkgs. 4 p. m.

All matter must be charged for at actual gross
weight at time of shipment, unle&s otherwise
specially provided for. Estimated weights on
shipments usually made with ice are only to be
applied when ice is used. When no ice is used
gross weights must be charged.

4. Extra Rate Charges.— On matter subject
to extra rate, as one and one-half or double rate,
find graduated rate according to tariff, and then
add one-half, or double it, as required. Exam-
ple:—If a package weighs 25 lbs. rated at double
rate, and the rate to destination is |i.oo (E) per
100 lbs., the chaiige for 30 to 25 lbs. is 50 cents,
double this,— 9i. 00— is the proper amount.

5. Valuation Charges.— when the value of any
merchandise shipment (C. O. D. or otherwise)
exceeds Iso.oo, the following additional charge
must be made on value : (Charge for value
whether insured or not.)

When merchandise rate is |i.oo or less per 100
lbs., 5 cents for each $100 value, or fraction
thereof.

When merchandise rate exceeds |i.oo and not
more than $3.00 per 100 lbs., 10 cents for each $100
value, or fraction thereof.

When merchandise rate exceeds $3.00 and not
more than $8.00 per 100 lbs., 15 cents for each $100
value, or fraction thereof.

When merchandise rate exceeds $8.00 per ico
lbs., 20 cents for each |ioo value, or fraction
thereof.

These rates must not be applied to shipments
of money or bonds, being intended to apply only
to packages or shipments of merchandise, jew-
elry and valuable papers.

The charges for valuation above given are to be
made on the through rate, whether carried by
one or more companies, and in the latter case,
are to be divided between the companies carry-
ing, on the same basis as said companies divide
thetransportation charges, except as noted below.

7. C. O. D. Matter.— The letters "C. O. D."
and amount to be collected must be plainly
marked upon each article with which a bill is
sent to be collected on delivery, and a similar
entry made upon the way-bill. If shipper requires
collection of charges for return of money, the C.
O. D. envelope and package must be plainly

marked "C. O. D. $ and return charges,"

and so way-billed.

Allow examination of C. O. D, matter only upon
written authority of shipper, endorsed by agent
at shipping point. When such authority is en-
dorsed on the transfer envelope, it shall also be
accepted. Such endorsement not to be made until
shippers sign an agreement releasing the com-
pany from all loss incident to such examination.

All orders to deliver C. O. D. goods without
collecting C. O. D. must have the approval of the
agent of the company at the shipping point.

PETERSBURG RAILROAD COMPANY.

HISTOBT.

The Petersburg Railroad Company was organized 1830, under laws of Virginia and North Carolina.

Original charter granted by Act of the General Assembly of the State of Virginia, passed February
lo, 1830, and by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina at its session of 1830. Amenda-
tory Acts were passed by the Legislature of Virginia as follows : 1830, 1831, 1832. 1833, 1834, 1836, 1840
and 1843.

The charter expired by limitation in 1891. A renewal of the same was granted by the legislature
for two years, by Act ratified the 9th day of March. 1891. The Legislature refused to renew for a
longer period than two years, because the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company claims exemp-
tion from taxation, not only for its main line, but for its branch roads as well, and had, in the mean,
time, become the owner by lease of the Petersburg Road. This right of exemption from taxation
was not acquiesced in by the Legislature, and suits are now pending to subject the branch roads to
taxation. In the meantime the Legislature, for these reasons, thought it wise to renew the charter
for only a short period.

CHARLOTTE, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD.

HISTOBT.

The Charlotte and South Caroliua Railroad Company was chartered in 1846; road opened in 1852.
The Columbia and Augusta was chartered in 1865, and the road opened in iSSg. They were consoli-
dated in July, 1S69.

The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, with its leased lines (Atlantic. Tennessee and
Ohio Railroad, and Chester and I^noir Narrow-gauge Railroad), is leased to the Richmond and Dan-
ville Railroad Company for a term of ninety-nine years, from May, 1886.

The original purpose of the Act incorporating the Charlotte and South Caroliua Railroad Com-
pany was to establish a communication by rail between the town of Charlotte, North Carolina, and
some point on the South Carolina Railroad in the State of South Carolina, with a capital stock of
11,500,000. This corporatioti was exempt from taxation for a period of fifteen years, from January 2,
1847 — the day on which the Act of incorporation was ratified. It was allowed to increase its capital
stock to $2,000,000, by an Act to produce conformity in the charters granted to the Charlotte and South
Carolina Railroad Company, by the States of North and South Carolina, ratified January 29, 1849.

NORTH-WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD

COMPANY.

HISTORT.

The North-Western North Carolina Railroad Company was chartered in 186S. Road opened to
Winston (Salem), 26 miles, in March, 1873. Extended westward 7 miles in 1888 ; to Donaha early in
1889, and to Wilkesboro in 1890. The road is virtually owned by the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company.

. The purpose of this Company, as declared in the original Act of incorporation, ratified by the Con-
vention on the 9th day of March, 1868, was to construct a railroad from some point on the North Caro-
lina Railroad between the towns of Greensboro and Lexington, nmning by way of Salem and Win-
ston to some point on the north-western boundary line of the State, to be determined afterwards. It
was allowed to have a capital stock of $2,000,000.00, and a corporate existence of 99 years. The charter
was ratified and confirmed by Act of the General Assembly, passed nth day of August, A. D. 1868,
and the privileges of the Company were afterward enlarged by the Act of the Assembly, ratified the
2nd day of March. 1S81, allowing it to extend and construct its road from Winston through the coun-
ties of Forsyth, Davidson, Yadkin, Davie, Rowan and Iredell, or any of them, to Statesville, or some
other point on the Western North Carolina Railroad, and to build and operate branches thereto.

WESTERN NORTH .CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY.

HISTOBT.

The Western North Carolina Railroad was chartered February 15th, 1855. Road opened to Old Fort
in 1869: to Swannanoa in 1879; to Asheville Junction in 1880; to Paint Rock, State line, and a connec-
tion with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway January 28th, i88a. The Ducktown
branch was opened to Nantahala River October ist, 1884, and to Jarretts in 1887. Road extended to
Tomotia during 1890. Road completed to Murphy in 1891.

The State's interest in this road was sold to W. J. Best and associates, under Act of the General
Assembly, at special session, year 1880, the State receiving in payment therefor |6oo,ooo, being the
amount of disbursements on account of said road, and purchasers to assume a mortgage debt of
1850,000, together with all floating indebtedness of the road, and also entering in contract to complete
the road to Paint Rock and Murphy by a certain stipulated time.

The road was subsequently transferred by W. J. Best, assigns and associates, to T. M. Logan, W. P.
Clyde and A. S. Buford, representing the Richmond and West Point Terminal Company.

The road was subsequently leased to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company for a term of
99 years. The purpose of this incorporation was to effect a communication between the North Caro>
lina road and the Mississippi Valley. This object has now been accomplished.

No time was fixed in the Act for the expiration of its corporate pow^ers.

CAROLINA CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY.

mSTORT.

The Carolina Central Railroad Company was organized July 14, 1880, under laws of the Slate of
North Carolina, under an Act to incorporate the Wilmington and Charlotte Railroad Company (1855),
an Act that the name of the Wilmington and Charlotte Railroad Company shall be altered and
the same company shall be known and styled the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad
Company, ratified February 14, 1885; an Act to incorporate the Carolina Central Railway Company;
December, 1873; and an Act to perfect the organization of the Carolina Central Railroad Company,
ratified January 18, 1881.

The corporate powers of this Company are granted for ninety-nine years from the passage of the
Act creating the Wilmington and Charlotte Railroad Company, passed at the session of 1855.

The original purpose of this Company was to effect railroad communication between Wilming-
ton and Charlotte, by way of Lumberton, Rockingham and Wadesboro and Monroe, with a capital
stock of $2,000,000, with the privilege of increasing the same to $3,000,000. Its capital stock was further
increased $1,000,000 for the purpose of continuing said road to a point at or near the town of Ruther-
ford ton.

CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY.

HI8T0B7.

Organized April ad, 1879, under laws of th; State of North Carolina, Act 25th February, 1879.

In the year 1833 a charter was obtained and the ground broken for the building of the Cape Fear,
Yadkin and Pee Dee Railroad ; but it was met by many difficulties, and being regarded as a doubtful
experiment, the work was abandoned.

The Western Railroad Compan y was chartered by the General Assembly of the State of North
Carolina December 24th, 1852, and the Mt. Airy Railroad Company was chartered April 4th, 1871
(amended February 38th, 1877, also February nth, 1879), consolidated under the name of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway Company by Act of the Assembly, and ratified the asth day of
February, 1879, amended the 36th day of March, 1880, and February 27th, 1883.

The consolidation as above stated was effected in general meeting of the stockholders of the Western
Railroad Company, held in Fayetteville, N. C, April 3d, 1879.

Name of the original corporation, the Western Railroad Company, reorgfanised as the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railway Company, under Act of the General Assembly, February 27th, 1883, and
consolidated with the Mt. Airy Railroad Company under the name of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railway Company, for the purpose of extension.

The road was built from Fayetteville to Hgypt, 43 miles, in i860, and extended from ^gypt to Gulf, 4
miles, in March, 1879. Road opened between Gulf and Greensboro, June 19th, 1884 ; from Fayetteville
south to Maxton, August ist, 1884, and through from Greensboro via Fayetteville to Bennettsville,
S. C, including the leased South Carolina Pacific Railway, on December sth, 1884.

Road opened from Greensboro to State line December 15, 1884, and extended from Greensboro to
Belew's Creek, and branch bnilt from Factory Junction to MiUboroin 1886. In 1887 the main line was
extended from Belew's Creek to Pilot Mountain, and in 1888 from Pilot Mountain to Mount Airy. The
Madison branch was opened in December, 1888. An extension of the main line from Fayetteville to
Wilmington, 8a miles, was opened February 17, 189a The road is graded 4 miles beyond Mt. Airy to
the State line, where a connection with the Norfolk and Western is proposed.

The corporate powers granted to this company by the Act of the General Assembly of the 24th day
of December, 1852, were to continue until the year 1900.

By Acts of the General Assembly, sessions 1879 and 1883, the State surrendered its interests in the
road to a company of private citizens, and furnished convicts for the completion of the road (an d
branches) to the Virginia State line.

ATLANTIC AND NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD

COMPANY.

mgTOST.

chartered in tH<iy. road opened in i*iy<.

The pfirpo«e of the act of incorporation was to effect a railroad commojiication from the Atlantic
throni^ the center of the State to meet the Tennessee line from the most eligible point on the barbor
of Beaufort, thence near Newbeme. Trenton and Kinston, so as to strike the Wilming:ton and Wddoa
Railroad and to connect with the North Carolina Railroad at Goldsboro, with a capital stock of nine
hundred thousand dollars.

In order to further effectuate this purpo«ie, the same Act incorporated the North Carolina and
Western Railroad Company, with a capital of $3,000,000, to commence on the North Carolina Railroad
at or near the town of Salisbury, thence the most practicable route across the Blue Ridge to the Ten-
nessee line, and provided that when these two companies should be formed, in compliance with the
conditions of the Act, they should have a corporate existence as a body politic for the term of ninety-
nine years.

This act of incorporation was amended by an Act passed at the session of the Legislature i854-*55.
providing that the company might at any time increase its capital to a sum sufficient to complete the
road, and that whenever it should appear to the Board of Internal Improvements that one-third of
the capital stock had been taken, by individuals or companies, and that $300,000 of the same had been
paid into the hands of the treasurer of the company, that the Board of Internal Improvements should
be required to subscribe on behalf of the State to two-thirds of the capital stock of the company.

By virtue of thi.H provision the State owns 12,666 shares of stock and controls the management of
the road.

For the Commission :

H. C. Brown,

Clerk.

That passenger and freight depots be erected at Pineville and New
Garden, and that the depots at Mebane and Marion be enlarged and
made comfortable, and that rooms at the railroad hotel at Burlington
be set apart for the convenience of passengers.

At Black Mountain, the business of the station did not warrant the
Commission in ordering a new depot to be erected.

The RaleKiH and Gaston Railroad Co.

The complainant in this case presents a petition, signed by himself
and thirty other citizens of the town of Vaughan and vicinity, asking
that the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company be required to erect a
new freight and passenger depot building and to make other improve-
ments at that station.

he was shipping, and that they were never delivered to consignee.
Also, that more than a year ago he ordered a lot of plows, and paid
the freight on the whole lot before finding out that all of the iron part
of one plow was missing. The value of this plow was $1.75. That
the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Company had in hand goods
belonging to him, against which they held freight charges of J8.81,
and refused to deliver same to him unless he paid the freight thereon,
and that ho has frequently called on the said railroad company
demanding pay for the peas and the plow, for which they refuse to
make a settlement.

Dill, Superintendent of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
Company, with the request that the matter have his attention.

other citizens along the line of the Wilmington, Onslow and East
Carolina Railroad, to- wit:

That the accommodations along the line of the Wilmington, Onslow
and East Carolina Railroad are entirely inadequate for the comfort and
convenience of passengers and for receiving and delivering freight;
that there are only three warehouses on said road, a distance of fifty
miles; that they have given $10,000 toward the construction of the
road, and that they have applied to the officers of said road asking
them to give them accommodations in the way of depot buildings, and

the depot and passenger accommodations were amply suflBcient.
Case pending.

Tarboro

Hon. J. W. Wilson, Chairman, Raleigh^ N. C.

Dear Sir — Replying to yours of September 17th to Col. Andrews,
Vice-President, I find that the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association changed the classification on wagons, L. C. L., July 28th,

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 613

1891, making it third class. On September 12th this classification was
withdrawn and fourth class substituted. It has been the custom to
apply the Southern Railway and Steamship Association classification,
though I must confess we have no right to do so within the State of
North Carolina without the approval of the Commission, which seems
to have been overlooked in this case.

We will be pleased to conform to your wishes in this matter, not only
in the future, but on the shipments within the State of North Carolina
claimed by the Piedmont Wagon Company.

Yours respectfully,

Sol. Haas,

Traffic Manager.

Jones

vs.

The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Co.

This complainant, George T. Jones, of Rocky Point, N. C, states
that the approaches to the freight and passenger depot at Rocky Point
station, on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad (in a wet spell), are
almost surrounded by mud and water, and great difficulty is expe-
rienced in loading and unloading freight. That more truck and
passengers are taken from that point than from any station on the line,
except Rocky Mount, Wilson and Goldsboro.

The Railway Company was notified September 17th of this com-
plaint, and on September 30th General Manager J. R. Kenly answered:

"Our engineer of roadway has investigated the matter referred to,
and reports that during heavy rains water stands on the low grounds,
at and in the vicinity of our station building. I have ordered that
the ground immediately around our station building be filled up with
sand and gravel, which I trust will prevent any further complaint."

K^STLER

VS.

The Richmond and Danville Railroad Co.

In this case the complainant stated that the price of a round-trip ticket
from Concord to Asheville was $7.05 ; that he tendered the agent at
Concord $14.05, for one whole and two half-tickets, with the under-
standing that if the return tickets were not used they should redeem
them. That the agent refused to sell with this understanding, and
that, therefore, he bought for one way only, paying a higher rate, and
that he is injured to the amount of $7.

Dismissed.

Daniel Lucas

vs.

The Richmond and Danville Railroad Co.

Complainant states that there is a pond of water (on his place) on the
line of the Western North Carolina Railroad, that backs up 150 feet
from the road-bed. That he has asked the Superintendent in three
different letters to have a culvert put in and the water drained off, but
has been unable to get any answer from the letters sent to the Superin-
tendent.

The attention of Col. A. B. Andrews, Vice-President, was called to
this complaint, who promptly replied that a pipe had been put in and
the water drained off to the satisfaction of complainant.

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 615

F. A. Olds
vs.
The Richmond and Danville and the Wilmin({ton and Weldon
Railroad Co/s.

The petition of the above-named complainant respectfully shows —

1. That complainant is a citizen of North Carolina.

2. That the defendants above-named are common carriers engaged
in the transportation of passengers and property by railway between
Raleigh and Wilmington of North Carolina, and as such common car-
rier are subject to the Act to provide for the general supervision of
railroads, steamboat or canal companies, express and telegraph com-
panies doing business in the State of North Carolina.

3. That the defendants do not make close connection at the town of
Goldsboro, greatly to the inconvenience of this complainant and to the
public. This complainant is informed, believes and alleges that close
connection at said town is practicable.

Wherefore, the petitioner prays that the defendant may be required
to answer the charges herein, and that after due hearing and investi-
gation an order be made commanding the defendant to cease and
desist from said violations of the Act to provide for the general super-
vision of railroads, steamboat or canal companies, express and tele-
graph companies doing business in the State of North Carolina, and for
such other and further orders as the Commission may deem necessary
in the premises.

Railroad Commissioners

The Richmond and Danville Railroad Company and the Wil-

To the above-named defendants the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com-
pany and the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company:

You and each of j^ou will take notice, that whereas, complaint under
oath has been filed before the Board of Railroad Commissioners, and
from other sources cf information the Railroad Commissioner are
informed that you fail to make close connection at the town of Golds-
boro; and whereas, it further appears from said sworn complaint, and
other sources of information, that said connection is practicable and
necessary for the convenience of the traveling public: Now, therefore,
the Board of Railroad Commissioners doth order that you and each of
you make the desired connection between Raleigh and Wilmington,
within ten days from the date of this order, or show cause before the
Board of Railroad Commissioners why said order has not been exe-
cuted. By the' Board.

This order was complied with by defendants within ten days from
its date.

Thistle Alliance
vs.
The Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Company.

complaint.
To the Railroad Commissioners of North Carolina.

Greeiing — Whereas, numerous complaints have been made to this
Alliance in reference to the exorbitant freight charges and unjust dis-
crimination by railroads, and by the Atlantic and North Carolina in
particular, they proceeded to appoint the undersigned as a committee
to investigate the matter and report to you, and after thorough inves-
tigation we have come to the conclusion, as follows:

That the freight on all things over the Atlantic and North Car-
olina road and other roads is extortion at the present rates. The
freight on a barrel of flour from New York to Morehead City is 25
cents, and yet a barrel of flour shipped from New Berne to Wild wood,
N. C, on the same road, and eight miles from Morehead and -twenty-
seven from New Berne, is 35 cents. Goods shipped from Durham to
Wildwood, and billed at the rate of 3S cents per hundred to Wildwood,
are, upon arrival at Goldsboro, charged with an additional 38 cents
per hundred, making double freight. We find that clams, under
management of former president of the A. and N. C. R. R., were only
70 cents to New York, and on those shipped from here last fall, winter
and spring was $1.14.

That truck, of which this section makes considerable, is rated at 01
cents to New York per barrel crate of only 100 pounds

It is too much, and yet that is not the greatest cause of complaint.
While we can ship a barrel crate of cabbage, potatoes or onions to New
York for 61 cents, because canteloupes are not mentioned in the tariff*
rate "special," as it is called, they collect just what they please, from 60
cents to $1.50 per crate, and the canteloupe crate the same size. Two
parties ship the same da)'; one pays 60 cents, the other $1.50. It seems
to us that they should be compelled to give a bill of lading to each
shipper for the articles shipped, with the amount of freight stated in
the same We feel that these facts should come before you for investi-
gation. We have the honor to subscribe ourselves.

Your obedient servants,

defendant's answer.

Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Company,

New Berne, N. C, October 1st, 1891.

H. C. Brown, Esc^., Secretary N. C. Railroad Cominmion^ Raleigh, N. C.

Dear Sir — I beg to acknowledge receipt of your valued favor of the
28th ultimo, enclosing complaint of " Thistle Alliance," Wildwood,
through their committee, Messrs. Murdock, Bell and Oglesby.

The first paragraph of their letter reads as follows:

" Whereas, numerous complaints have been made to this Alliance in
reference to the exorbitant freight charges and unjust discriminations
by railroads, and by the A. and N. C. R. R. in particular, they pro-
ceeded to appoint the undersigned as a committee to investigate the
matter and report to you, and after a thorough investigation we have
come to the conclusion as follows " :

My answer to the above is, that I cannot see how they could come to
any conclusion whatever, as I know of no communication upon the
subject to either Mr. Chadwick, President of this company, or to myself,
from the committee. The first article of their complaint says that the
freight rate from New York to Morehead City is 25 cents per barrel on
flour. This is not true. Since March 7lh, 1891, flour per barrel New
York to Morehead City has been 50 cents, and the same rate of 50
cents per barrel is applied to Wildwood station. They also say that
the freight on flour from New Berne to Wildwood is 35 cents per barrel.
This is not true. The freight on a barrel of flour from New Berne to

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 619

Wildwood is 19 cents, and has not exceeded this amount since August
10th, 1888.

Now as to the Durham freight: One box merchandise (dry goods)
and one bale of the same from Durham to Wildwood ; the shipment
weighed 210 pounds. It seems that the Richmond and Danville Rail-
road charged 46 cents per 100 pounds for 75 miles, Durham to Golds-
boro, and the Atlantic and North Carolina charged 46 cents per 100
pounds for 87 miles, Goldsboro to Wildwood, being a combination of
the locals of each road.

Regarding the clams, I can only say that they were billed local to
New Berne and shipped to eastern points via the water lines, and
whatever the difference was, if any, occurred with the water lines north
of New Berne.

At any time that our Wildwood friends call upon us, we are glad to
procure through rates, but it seems, for some reason best known to
themselves, that they did not ask for rates — agent at Wildwood only
charging on the way-bills local to New Berne.

Now as to truck shipments: From Atlantic and North Carolina
points to interstate points, this is a matter that the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad cannot control.

As to the canteloupe matter referred to, I can only send you previous
correspondence that I have had with Mr. A. E. Oglesby, a son of Mr.
L. T. Oglesby, one of the committee appointed by " Thistle Alliance "
to investigate ratek I also herewith send you copies of all trruck rates
of last season. I also send you copies of our class rates from eastern
cities to stations on Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad.

The entire business done at Wildwood station for fiscal year ending
June 31st, 1891, was as follows:

Freight forwarded $ 258 42

Freight received 171 26

Passengers 213 15

Total . $ 642 83

Yours truly,

S L. Dill,

SuperinteiidenL

P. S. — Regarding two parties shipping same day, one paying nearly
three times as much as the other, I know of no such case m my life,
unless from clerical eiTor. Hence, I can only think of this as being in
keeping with the committee's other statements.

Bowling

vs.

TnK Richmond and Danville Railroad Co.

The complainant in this case states, that on the 17th day of October,
189J,the defendant the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company
received from him one trunk and one chest, to be transported to Ral-
eigh, N. C, and issued to the plaintiff a bill of lading for the same, and
on the 30th day of October, 1891, delivered the same to the plaintiff in
such a damaged condition that the plaintiff is injured, as he avers, to
the extent of a serious loss and inconvenience to him. Complainant
files exhibit as a part of this complaint.

This complaint was notified to the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company, November 6th, to which the following reply was made to

Dear Sir — Referring to your letter of November 6th, relative to the
complaint of John Bowling for damaged freight: I beg to advise you
that our claim agent has sent one of our route agents to Raleigh to

damage to the articles in question, which his claim seems to indicate
that we are, the matter will be settled promptly.

VS.

The Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad Co.

The complainant in this case states that there are no depot accom-

Tarboro, a distance of thirty-three miles, and that the public are
greatly inconvenienced and injured from the want of such accommo-

to grant reasonable accommodations, for both freight and passengers,
between Williamston and Tarboro, and for such other relief as may to
the Court seem right and just.

complaint.

Nealsville, N. C, Nov. 23, 1891.
To the Honorable Railroad Commission, Raleigh^ N. C.

Gentlemen — We desire your assistance in adjusting a difficulty with
the 3 C*s Railroad Company. About the time the roaJ was completed
to Marion, N. C, or in condition for trains to pass over it, the citizens
of Nealsville proposed to the 3 C*s Company to build a depot and
grade a side track, if the said 3 C's Company would establish a depot
and give them an agent. The 3 C's Company accepted the proposi-
tion, on condition that the side track be graded a certain length and
width, and the depot built by certain specifications or plans. The
proposition of the 3 C's Company was accepted l)y the citizens of Neals-
ville, and the side track graded and depot built, according to contract,
with the exception of a small amount of work on depot building, which
will be completed as soon as we have the assurance of an agent.

The 3 C's Railroad Company have failed to give us an agent and
accept deed for depot lot. The only part of the contract the railroad
company has complied with is laying the side track. They have

622 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

promised to examine depot building, and if it was built according to
contract, to appoint an agent at once, but two months have passed and
no agent appointed yet. They give no reasons for the delay.

If this case comes under your jurisdiction, please take it in hand.
We can furnish written contract with the former Superintendent of the
Blacksburg Division of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Rail-
road. The depot in question is six miles south of Marion, and known
as Glenwood.

Yours respectfully,

complaint.

To the North Carolina Railroad Commissioners:

The petition of the above-named complainants show —

1st That the plaintiffs are the Commissioners of the county of Cleve-
land, North Carolina.

2d. That defendant was incorporated by an Act of the General
Assembly of North Carolina, ratified on the 9th day of March, A. D.
1 885.

3d. That section 14 of said charter reads as follows: "That if work
is not begun and prosecuted with reasonable diligence, within five
years from the ratification of this act, then this charter is to become
void ; otherwise, to remain in full force and effect."

4th. That, as plaintiffs are informed and believe, all the work
defendant has done under its charter has been the partial grading of
some twenty miles of road-bed in Cleveland County, besides the making
of some preliminary surveys, and plaintiffs aver that no work upon the
grading of said road has been done within the last two years, and no

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 623

other work, unless possibly one or two preliminary surveys. Plaintiffs
allege that the defendant has never prosecuted with reasonable dili-
gence its work, and is not now doing so, and that it has violated and
neglected to comply with the terms of its charter.

Wherefore, petitioners pray that notice be given said defendant of
its neglect, and that the Commission take steps to have the charter of
said Southern and AVestern Air-Line Railroad Company forfeited, and
for such other and further action as the Commission mav deem neces-
sary in the premises.

I. W. Garrett, Chairman Board of Commissioners of Cleveland

are the complainants in this proceeding, and that the matters set forth
in the foregoing petition are true, as he verily believes.

answer.

The answer of the defendant corporation, through its President,
Samuel McD. Tate, respectfully showeth to your honors:

That admittiug paragraphs one, two and three to be substantially
true, the fourth paragraph is unjust in statement and requires answer,
that your Honors may see ihe wrong sought to be done the defendant
corporation.

The Southern and Western Air-Line Railroad Company. was duly
organized within two years from 9th day of March, 1885. That soon
thereafter the authorities of Cleveland County sought to influence said
defendant company to construct its line of railroad through said Cleve-
land County, and to its county seat, Shelby, well knowing that the
design of the promoters of said railroad enterprise was to adopt a
cheaper line to the east of this. That a subscription of fifty thousand
dollars to the capital stock of the defendant corporation by said county

624 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

of Cleveland, coupled with the condition that said railway company
should construct its road "from Shelby in the direction of Cranberry,
as near the center of the county as practicable," was formulated and
submitted to the people of said Cleveland County for ratification or
rejection. That the election was held according to law, and duly
declared adopted by the proper authorities. That thereupon the Board
of County Commissioners of said Cleveland County entered into a
written contract with the defendant corporation, subscribing for fifty
thousand dollars of said company's capital stock, payable in the bonds
of said county of Cleveland, as the work of construction progressed in
said county. That after the said county had entered into said written
contract, had prepared and executed the county bonds and placed them
in the hands of a trustee, to be paid over, from time to time, as the
payments became due, under the terms of said written agreement and
subscription, the defendant corporation, in the utmost good faith, began
the work of constructing their said railroad "from Shelby in the
direction of Cranberry," through said Cleveland County, as near the
center as practicable, and in strict conformity to said contract.

That the first installment of bonds, due under the said contract,
to-wit, sixty-six hundred dollars, were paid over to the defendant cor-
poration according to the contract aforesaid. That said Board of
County Commissioners have ever since failed and refused to levy any
tax for the payment of maturing interest upon said county bonds, and
that suit has long been pending in the Superior Court of Cleveland
county to compel the payment of the said matured coupons; but for rea-
sons unknown to the defendant the action has not yet been disposed of.

That two sections of said railroad, in said county, have been graded
since any payment has been made to the defendant, although due
under the contract, and often demanded. That twenty-two miles of
the twenty-five miles in Cleveland County have been graded, and yet
the said Board of County Commissioners refuse to comply with any
part of their said contract. That bad faith of said Board of Commis-
sioners compelled the defendant corporation to suspend work until the
courts should determine the questions at issue.

Now that nine-tenths of the grading of said railroad has been done
in Cleveland County, and the county authorities have refused to pay,
they endeavor to take the life of their creditor as the most speedy and
cheapest manner of settlement.

COMPLAINT.

Asheville, N. C, March 23, 1891.
To the Honorable Railroad Commissioners, Raleigh, ]V. C.

Gentlevien — I desire to enter a complaint against the Western Union
Telegraph Company on the following ground, viz.: To-day I sent a
message to Morganton, North Carolina, of less than ten words, and the
agent and operator for the company at Asheville exacted and collected
forty cents.

I understand a similar message lo Raleigh from Asheville would
only cost twenty-five cents. The distance from Asheville to Raleigh
is more than four times that from Asheville to Morganton, with one or
40

626 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

more relays. If I am not mistaken , I sent from Baleigh to Sylva a
message of less than ten words for twenty-five cents, more than five
times the distance from Asheville to Morganton.

It is a small matter, but it occurs to me that there is a discrimina-
tion here that desires attention and correction for the public good.
For that reason I lodge this complaint against the Western Union
Telegraph Company for your consideration.

Very respectfully,

E. R. Hampton.

defp:ndant's reply.

Western Union Telegraph Company,
Superintendent's Office,

Richmond, Va., April 16th, 1891.

Mr. J. W. Wilson, Chairman RaUroad Commission, Raleigh, X. C.

Dear Sir — Your letter of loth instant, complaining of a charge of
forty cents on a message of ten words transmitted over the wires of this
company from Asheville, N. C, to Morganton, N. C, and stating that
the charge from Asheville to Raleigh, a distance nearly four times as
great, is placed at only twenty-five cents, came to hand this morning.

I have to say in response that I have referred to the section of the
North Carolina Act providing for the general supervision of railroad,
express and telegraph companies in that State, and have forwarded
your letter to New York for the consideration and action of the Execu-
tive Department of this com pan}'.

The matter of making up a schedule of tolls is intrusted by the
company to what is known as the Tariff Bureau, an auxiliary office in
the same building with the executive at New York, and I hope to have
the matter settled within the next few days, and will take great pleasure
in advising you as soon as I can hear myself.

I remember when we established a Tariff Bureau, some twenty-five
years ago, it was a very difficult problem to justly solve tlie question
of tolls.

We have over 18,000 offices in our service, and, placing them at the
round number of 18,000, you will observe that this necessitates the
clerks of the Tariff Bureau to make up 324,000,000 (three hundred and
twenty-four million) items of tolls, as between office and office. If one
man can enter up on a sheet 1,000 items of tolls from any one given
office to 1,000 other offices in a day, and supposing he works 313 days
in a year, omitting the Sundays, it would take him something more

628 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

than a thousand years to complete the job of making a tariflf for the
Western Union Telegraph Company; or it would take 1 ,000 clerks one
year to make up a tariff of tolls to cover the wants of the 18,000 oflBces
in the service of this company — a length of time and a cost of clerical
work entirely impracticable to handle our business successfully.

This was a problem which met us when we undertook to get out a
tariff book for the use of the Western Union Telegraph Company.
After much thought and consideration, and summoning of telegraph
experts from one end of the country to the other to meet in counsel
together, it was concluded to divide the territory occupied by the Western
Union lines into squares of twenty-five miles each, and to give all of
the towns within any given square a similar rate to any given square —
taking, at the same time, into consideration the number of wires upon
which we could transmit the message, the extent of population in any
given group of squares, the nature of the business, the amount of news
to be transmitted to the newspapers, and all other considerations which
would naturally enter into such an important question as the produc-
tion of a tariff to meet the wants of the public and the needs of the
telegraph company.

By using these squares as described above, we were able to produce
the present tarifi* book. But in order to keep our oflBces posted, we are
also compelled to issue every month a tariff circular, giving the names
and locations of the new oflBces opened and the changes of rates, etc.
These tariff books are issued on the 1st of January and on the 1st of
July, and the matters contained in the monthly circulars from the
tariff bureau are consolidated in these new tariflF books at the end of
each six months.

I mention these matters to you so that you can make some allow-
ance for any delay which may occur in answering your letter. And if
some delay should occur, I trust you will attribute it, not to the fact
that we are not anxious to place the matter before you in the proper
light, but that from the very character of the business of the telegraph
company, and its vast extent, it requires a proper consideration by the
Executive Department of this company.

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir — Your favor of April 15th to J. B. Tree, Superiatendent,
Richmond, Va., and of the same date to J. R. Brown, Manager Western
Union Telegraph Company, Raleigh, N. C, have been referred to me,
and the subject-matter thereof is receiving full consideration.

I will be able to communicate with you further after we have had
an opportunity of looking into the matter, and within a few days.

General Superintendent.

Western Union Telegraph Company,

New York, May 4th, 1801.

J. W. Wilson, Esq., Chairman Railroad Commission, Raleigh, N. C.

Dear Sir — Replying further to your letter of April 15th to Superin-
tendent Tree, Richmond, I beg to state that our rates are based upon a
system of a division of the State into fifty miles square, with a twenty-
five cent rate between all the oflBces in each square, and between all
offices in any square and offices in the adjoining square.

The next rate is forty cents, and takes in all of the squares within
the State not included in cases mentioned above.

The exception to these rates are as follows :

A twentj'-five cent rate between the State capital and all telegraph
stations within the State. This exception was made several years ago
for the purpose of serving the public interests, by enabling the people
to telegraph with the State capital at the lowest possible cost.

The company has been considering for a year or two the effect on
our revenues and business of a reduction of the rates by making the
twenty-five cent rate apply as follows :

Between all offices in any square, and from offices in such rate to
first and second circle of adjoining squares. The fortj'-cent rate to
remain for the balance.

In considering this, we are met with the question as to what we shall
do with the exceptions mentioned above. There seems to be many

630

BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

objections to dispensing with the exceptions, and we have been inclined
to let them stand, rather than to raise the rate from the State capital to
points outside of the new twenty-five cent rate, above referred to. That
question we still have under consideration, but we have decided to put
into effect the new twenty-five cent rate, within each square, and there-
from to the first and second circle of adjoining squares. This will be
done as a part of the instructions of the next issue of our tariff book,
on July 1st.

I herewith enclose you map of the State of North Carolina, laid off
in squares, and a table showing the twenty-five cent and forty-cent
rates.

Very truly yours,

James Merrihew,

General Superintendent.

complaint.

The plaintiff complains and alleges —

1. That it is a corporation duly incorporated under and by virtue of
the laws of the State of North Carolina, passed by the General Assembly
at its session of 1891, under the name of the Atlantic Express Com-
pany, by an act ratified March, 1891.

2. That the defendants are corporations, respectively, carrying on
and conducting a general railroad business for conveying freight and
passengers within and beyond the boundaries of the State of North
Carolina, duly incorporated, respectively, under the names of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company.

3. That plaintiff, by its charter, is duly authorized and empowered
to receive for carriage and delivery all goods, chattels, wares, merchan-
dise or things of value whatsoever, and make and enter into any
contract for the purpose of procuring the transportation and delivery

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 635

of the same in the State of North Carolina, or any other State or
Territory in the United States, as may be allowed by the laws thereof,
and to do a general express business.

4. That plaintiff is duly organized under the provisions of its said
charter, and duly informed defendants of such organization and incor-
poration, and in pursuance to the objects of its incorporation, and for
the transportation of such packages and articles as might be received
by it for such purpose, it duly communicated with (by written requests
as well as by personal interviews with its agents) the defendants,
respectively, requesting said railroad companies to furnish it with a
car or carriage over its line, and rates of transportation as well within
as without the limits of this State for shipment of goods within the
scope of its organization.

5. That in response to such requests and appeals, the said defendants
respectively, unjustly and unlawfully, failed and refused to furnish
this plaintiff with any car or other facility for transporting its said
goods, as well as rates for such transportation, and as reasons for such
neglect and refusal, defendants respectively informed this plaintiff:
1st, that they have no car, carriage or facility which they could place
at the disposal of plaintiff for the purpose named ; 2d, that they could
make no rates for such transportation, for that they had respectively
granted the exclusive privilege of such carriage to the Southern Express
Company, and that they had entered into an exclusive contract with
such company as to the rates thereof.

6. That said Southern Express Company is a corporation duly incor-
porated for the purposes of a general express business of like nature
and kind in all respects and of the same particular description of traffic
as the plaintiff, as it is advised and believes.

7. That in the manner aforesaid the defendants, respectively, have
given undue and unreasonable preference and advantage to said
Southern Express Company, in the granting of the exclusive privileges
and rights as aforesaid, to the unreasonable prejudice of this plaintiff,
whereby it is entirely excluded and prevented from effectuating and
carrying out the objects and intents of its charter and organization.

Wherefore, it prays that this court will accord it such relief in the
premises as in justice and equity it may be entitled.

Atlantic Express Company
vs.
The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and the Rich-
mond AND Danville Railroad Company.

ANSWER.

The defendant the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, in
answer to the complaint filed in this proceeding say —

1. It admits allegation No. 1.

2. It admits allegation No. 2.

3. It denies upon information and belief the allegation in No. 3, that
it has power "to do a general express business."

4. Thi3 defendant, in answer to allegation No. 4, admits that it
declined to "furnish a car or carriage over its line and rates of trans-
portation as well within as without the limits of North Carolina for
shipment of goods within the scope of its organization.

5. It admits that it did refuse to give plaintiff a car or carriage.

1. Because, previous to the year 1890, and before the Act of the Legis-
lature of North Carolina, chapter 320, commonly known as the Rail-
road Commission Act, had been ratified, the defendant had entered
into a contract with the Southern Express Company, whereby it gave

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 637

said company "the exclusive right to the express business on its line,"
which contract the defendant is advised and believes it had the power
to make, and that the same was not in contravention of any general
law or statute of the State of North Carolina, or of any usage which
might be recognized as having the force of law. This defendant is
further advised and believes that the Legislature of North Carolina
has not attempted or intended by any subsequent statute to impair the
obligation of this solemn contract, and if it had so attempted, that such
statute or law would be in violation of the Constitution of the United
States.

2. Because it had no express car suitable for the business of the
plaintitf, and in the management and control of its business, which is
vested, subject to law, in the defendant by its charter, it is advised and
believes that It is not bound to incur the expense of purchasing said
car.

6. In answer to allegaiion No. G, this defendant says it has no knowl-
edge nor suflBcient information on which to form a belief so as to cate-
gorically answer the same, but is willing to admit that both are express
companies with the usual powers appertaining to such companies.

7. This defendant denies allegation No. 7 of the complaint.

8. For further defence this defendant says —

1. That it is advised and believes that "it performs its whole duty
to the public at large and to each individual when it affords the public
all reasonable express accommodations. If this is done, the railroad
company owes no duty to the public as to the particular agencies it
shall select for that purpose. The public requires the carriage, but the
company may choose its own appropriate means of carriage, always
provided they are such as to insure reasonable promptness and secu-
rity." Express Cases, 117 U. S. Reports, pp. 24-24.

This defendant avers that tlirough the Southern Express Company
"reasonable accommodations" for the carriage of express freight over
its lines is afforded, both to the public and individuals.

2. This defendant further avers that if it were compelled to give
express privileges such as are demanded by plaintiff to all express com-
panies, it would greatly "interfere with the wants of its passengers" on
its passenger trains, to which express cars must necessarily be attached.
This defendant is advised that "the express business on passenger
trains is in a degree subordinate to the passenger business, and it is
consequently the duty of a railroad company in arranging for the

638 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

express to see that there is as little interference as possible with the
wants of passengers." Express Cases, p 24.

This defendant is further advised and believes, "that there is noth-
ing in any statute of North Carolina, which in positive terms requires a
railroad company to carry aK express companies in the way that, under
some circumstances, they may be able to, without inconvenience, to
carry one company." Express Cases, p. 27.

That without this positive enactment, the duty does not devolve on
this defendant to grant transportation over its lines to all express com-
panies.

9. This defendant is further advised that the demand of the plaintiff
for "a car or carriage over the lines of this defendant as well within
as without the limits of the State," is a matter over which this Honor-
able Commission has no jurisdiction. That the State of North Caro-
lina has no jurisdiction, through its Commission, to regulate interstate
commerce, and has disclaimed such power in section 6 of the Railroad
Commission Act."

10. This defendant is further advised and believes that section 4 of
the Railroad Commission Act does not forbid all "preference or advan-
tage" but only such as are "undue and unreasonable," and this defend-
ant says that, from the very nature of the defendant's demand, it is not
unreasonable to refuse it: Because, on the same grounds, any other
express company might demand a similar "car" until the passenger
trains would be loaded down with freight and the trains delayed; that
after purchasing expensive cars for these companies, competition would
become destructive to them, and the express cars would become idle,
and the railroad company would be the loser to the value of the ears;
that it would lead to an unseemly scramble among the various express
agents at defendant's stations, and cause delay to the trains and discord
among the operatives and involve the railroad companies in numerous
suits for delays and injuries.

It would in fact compel the railroad companies to refuse to carry any
express cars on its passenger trnins, and thereby deprive the public of
this valuable service.

The demand is impracticable, and its concession would defeat the
very object for which express companies were chartered, and greatly
inconvenience the public.

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 639

The whole question is so ably discussed in all its phases by the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in the " Express
Cases " that it seems a work of supererogation to enlarge further upon it.

answer.

The defendant the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Conipnny,
answering the complaint filed therein, says:

J. It admits that the allegations contained in paragraph 1 of the
complaint are true.

2. It admits that the allegations coiitiiined in paragraph 2 of ihe
complaint are true.

3. It is informed and believes that the allegations contained in para-
graph 3 of the complaint are true as therein stated, exce[>t the
allegation that the plaintiff, by its charter, is duly authorized and

640 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

empowered " to do a general express business," and therefore denies
the said allegations.

4. The allegations contained in paragraph 4 of the complaint
may or may not be true, but this defendant is not advised as to the
organization of said complainant company, and calls for proof thereof
if this defendant is to be affected thereby, but this defendant denies
that any request was ever made for a car or carriage over its line by
said complainant, as stated in paragraph 4.

5. It denies the allegations contained in paragraph 5 of the com-
plaint, as therein stated. This defendant never refused to transport
over its line any article offered by the complainant. On the 22d day
of May, A. D. 1891, the secretary of the complainant company wrote
the following letter to the Superintendent of this defendant: "We
respectfully ask you to give us rates over your roads for the Atlantic
Express Company with messenger service privileges;" to which this
defendant, by its President, on the 9th day of June, A. D. 1891, made
the following reply: "Your communication to the General Superin-
tendent of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and to the
Superintendent of the Petersburg Railroad Company, requesting them
to give your company rates over their respective roads with messenger
service privileges, have both been referred to me. The car space that
can be given to the Express business on our passenger trains is of
course limited, and it is now occupied to its full limit by the Southern
Express Company."

Further answering the allegations of paragraph 5 of the com-
plaint, this defendant says that prior to the passage of the Act of the
Legislature of North Carolina, chapter 320 of the Laws of 1891, com-
monly known as the "Railroad Commission Act»" to-wit, in the year
1885, it had entered into a contract with the Southern Express Com-
pany whereby it contracted that for the promotion of mutual and
public interests all manner and character of freight business, which, in
the judgment of this defendant can with safety be transported on its
passenger trains, shall have accommodation thereon, and be in the
sole custody and direction of the said Southern Express Company, and
that said contract is now in full force and effect, and has been ever
since it was entered into in the year 1885. And this defendant is
advised that said contract is lawful and of full force and effect, and
not obnoxious or repugnant to the Constitution and laws of the State
of North Carolina or of the United States.

6. It admits that the Southern Express Company is a corporation

judgment.

State of North Carolina,

Board of Railroad Commissioners^

Raleigh, October 20th, 1891.

Atlantic Express Company

vs.
The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and the iRich-
MOND AND Danville Railroad Company.

This cause came on to be heard before the Board of Railroad Com-
missioners, at a session in Raleigh, on the 17th day of September, 1891,
and after argument by counsel for plaintiflF and defendants, was, by
consent, continued to the 20th day of October, 1891, when, at a session
in Raleigh, a further hearing thereof was had, and testimony intro-
duced by both plaintiff and defendants.

After hearing further argument thereon on the part of the plaintiff
and defendants, the court finds as follows:

41

642 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

1st. That plaintiff, the Atlantic Express Company, is a corporation
duly incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina, and
duly organized under its charter.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the complaint and the
admissions of the answer.

2d. That the defendants are corporations, respectively, carrying on
and conducting a general railroad business, for conveying freight and
passengers, within and beyond the boundaries of the State of North
Carolina, duly incorporated, respectively, u^der the names of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the complaint and the
admissions of the answer.

3d. That the plaintiff is duly organized and em powdered to do a
general express business.

This finding is based upon the examination of an Act to incorporate
the x4tlantic Express Company — Laws of North Carolina, 1891, page
1424— which was in evidence.

4lh. That plaintiff is duly organized under the provisions of its said
charter.

This finding is based upon the testimony of J. J. Wolfenden, and a
book containing the proceedings of the incorporators, which was in
evidence.

5th. That the plaintiff informed defendants of such organization
and incorporation.

This finding is based upon tlie allegations of the complaint and the
admissions of the answer.

6th. That the plaintiff has duly made application to the defendants
for rates and facilities for conducting an express business over their
roads in this State, which application was refused.

This finding is based upon the allegationjB of the complaint and the
admissions of the answer.

7th. That the defendants have granted the exclusive privilege of
conducting an express business over their respective roads to the
Southern Express Company.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the complaint and the

Express Company, which was in evidence.

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 643

8th. That the Southern Express Company is a corporation duly
incorporated for the purpose of carrying on a general express business.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the complaint and the
admissions of the answer.

9th. That the plaintiff has made no actual tender of any article of
freight to either of the de«^endants to be transported by them.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the answer of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company and the admissions of
plaintiff's counsel during the argument.

10th. That prior to the passage of the Act of the Legislature of
North Carolina, chapter 320 of the Laws of 1891, commonly known as
the Railroad Commission Act, each of the defendants had entered,
respectively, into a contract WMth the Southern Express Company,
whereby each of the defendants, for itself, contracted that, for the
promotion of mutual and public interests, the exclusive privilege of
conducting an express business over their respective roads should be
granted to the Southern Express Company.

This finding is based upon the allegations of the answer of each of
the defendants, not controverted by counsel for the plaintiff in the
argument.

11th. That section 23 of the charier of the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad Company is as follows: "And it shall not be lawful for any
'other person or company whatever to travel along or upon the said
road, or any part thereof, or use it or any part thereof, for transporta-
tion of produce or otherwise, without the license or permission of the
president and directors." Charter was enacted in 1833.

This finding is based upon the examination of the charter of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company, which was in evidence.

12th. That the plaintiff demanded of the defendants that each of
them should furnish it with a car or carriage over ifs respective lines,
and rates of transportation as well within as without the limits of this

admissions of the answer.

13. That the car space now allotted to the express business on the
passenger trains of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company is
now fully occupied by the Southern Express Company, and is often
fully occupied by the Southern Express Company on the passenger
trains of the Richmond and Danville Railroad.

644 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

This finding is based upon the allegations in the answer of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company, admitted to be true by
counsel for plaintiff, and upon the testimony of R. D. Wade, E Berkley
and A. B. Andrews.

14th. That the present equipment of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company is not sufficient to furnish a car or car space to
another express company in addition to the Southern Express Company,
and that all the cars and car space for express business, which are at
the disposal of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, on its passenger
trains, are now in use and necessary for the use of the Southern Express
Company.

This finding is based upon the evidence of R. D. Wade, E. Berkley
and A. B. Andrews.

15th. That the motive power now in use on the Richmond and
Danville Railroad is not sufficient to enable it to transport another
express car upon its passenger trains upon its present schedules or
under present conditions.

This finding is based upon the evidence of R. D. Wade, E. Berkley
and A. B. Andrews.

16th. That the use by two express companies of the same car under
the conditions in existence, on the lines of the defendant companies,
respectively, would result in inconvenience to the defendants, as well
as to the Southern Express Company.

This finding is based upon the testimony of R. D. Wade, E. Berkley,
A. B. Andrews, W. J. Croswell and M. J. O'Bryan.

17th. The rules of practice in cases and proceedings before the Com-
mission and the rules governing the transportation of freight and pas*
sengers which have been adopted by the Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners, which were in evidence, are filed as a part of the findings of
fact in this cause, in book marked Exhibit " A."

18th. The act establishing the Railroad Commission in the fourth
section thereof, provides, " that it shall be unlawful for any common
carrier, subject to the provisions of this act to make or give any undue
or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, com-
pany, firm, corporation or locality, or any particular description of
traffic in any respect whatsoever, or to subject any particular person,
company, firm, corporation or locality, or any particular description of
traffic to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any
respect whatsoever."

19th. The fifth section of said act provides that the Railroad Com-
missioners shall make reasonable and just rules and regulations to be
observed by all railroad companies doing business in this State as to
charges at any and all stations for the necessary handling and delivery
of freight; shall make just and reasonable rules and regulations as
may be necessary for preventing unjust discrimination in the trans-
portation of freight and passengers on the railroads in this State; shall
make reasonable and just rates of charges for use of railroad cars carry-
ing any and all kinds of freight and passengers on said railroad, no
matter by whom owned or carried.

20th. The ninth section of said act provides that all contracts and
agreements between railroad companies doing business in this State as
to rates of freights and passenger tariffs, shall be submitted to said
Commissioners for inspection and correction, that it may be seen
whether or not they are a violation of law, or the provisions of this act,
or the rules and regulations of said Commissioners; and any such
agreement not approved by said Commissioners shall be deemed, held
and taken to be violations of this act and shall be illegal and void.

21st. The thirteenth section of said act provides that the term
"such companies" or "railroad company" contained in this act shall
be deemed and taken to mean all corporations, companies or individu-
als now owning or operating, or which may hereafter own or operate
any railroad, steamboat, canal, express business or telegraph line in
whole or in part in this State, and the provisions of this act shall
apply as far as applicable to all persons, firms and companies, and to
all associations or persons, whether incorporated or otherwise, that shall
do business as common carriers in this State (street railways excepted)
the same as railroad corporations hereinbefore mentioned.

22d. The seventh and eighth sections of the rules governing the
transportation of freight and the regulations concerning freight rates,
which have been adopted by the Railroad Commissioner in pursuance
of said act, provide as follows:

"That the rates charged for freight service by regular passenger
trains may be one and a half times that for first-class freight by ordi-
nary freight trains. That no railroad company shall by reason of any
contract with any express, or other company, decline or refuse to act as
a common carrier, to transport any article proper for transportation by
the train for which it is offered."

646 BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

From these findings of fact, the court concludes as follows:

1st. That so much of the contract which was entered into between
each of the defendants and the Southern Express Company, as granted
the exclusive privilege of conducting a general express business over
the respective roads of the defendants to the Southern Express Com-
pany, and which denied to each of the defendants the right to grant to
the plaintiff equal facilities and rates of transportation for conducting
a general express business within this State with tliose granted to the
Southern Express Company, is in violation of the act to provide for
the general supervision of railroads, steamboat or canal companies,
express and telegraph companies doing business in the State of North
Carolina, chapter 320 of the Acts and Resolutions of the General
Assembly of North Carolina, session 1801, and is illegal and void.

2d. That the refusal of the defendants to grant to the plaintiff rates
and facilities for conducting an express business over their roads in
this State upon the demand of the pjaintiff therefor, was a violation of
the terms of said act, and of the " rules governing the transportation
of freight and the regulations concerning freight rates" which have
been adopted by the Board of Railroad Commissioners in pursuance of
said Act, and by authority of the same.

3d. That the refusal of each of the defendants to grant to the plain-
tiff rates and facilities for conducting an express business over their
respective roads in this State, was an undue preference and advantage
to the Southern Express Company, and an unjust discrimination
against the plaintiff, in violation of said act and the " Rules and Regu-
lations " adopted by the Board of Railroad Commissioners in pursu-
ance of said Act and by authority of the same.

Therefore, on motion of W. W. Clark and 0. H. Guion, attorneys for
plaintiff, it is considered and adjudged by the court that so much of
the contract entered into between each of the defendants and the
Southern Express Company, as granted to the Southern Express Com-
pany the exclusive privilege of conducting a general express business
over the respective roads of the defendants, and which denied to each
of the defendants the right to grant to the plaintiff equal facilities and
rates of transportation, for conducting a general express business
within the limits of this State, with those granted to the Southern
Express Company, be declared illegal and void.

It is further adjudged that the refusal of the defendants to grant to
the plaintiff rates and facilities for conducting an express business over

COMPLAINTS, DECISIONS, ETC. 647

their respective roads in this State, upon the demand of the plaintiff
therefor, is an undue preference and advantage to the Southern Express
Company, and an unjust discrimination against the plaintiff, in viola-
tion of the terms of the act to provide for the general supervision of rail-
roads, steamboat or canal companies, express and telegraph companies
doing business in the State of North Carolina, chapter 320 of the Acts and .
Resolutions of the General Assembly of North Carolina, session 1891,
and of the rules governing the transportation of freight and the regu-
lations concerning freight rates, which have been adopted by the Board
of Railroad Commissioners in pursuance of said Act and by authority
of the same.

It is further adjudged, and the court doth so order, that each of the
defendants grant unto the plaintiff equal rates and facilities for con-
ducting a general express business over their respective roads, within
the limits of the State of North Carolina, with those already granted
to the Southern Express Company, or which they may hereafter grant
to the Southern Express Company, or to any other person, firm or
corporation to whom they may at any time grant the privilege of
conducting a general express business within the limits of this State.

It is further adjudged that each party in this action pay its own
costs.

By the Board.

to any State or Territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia, or from any place in the
United States to an adjacent foreign country, or from any place in the United States through a foreigrn
country to any other place in the United States, and also to the tr.insportation in like manner of
property shipped from any place in the United States to a foreign country and carried from such place
to a port of transshipment, or shipped from a foreign country to any place in the United States and
carried to such place from a port of entry either in the United States or an adjacent foreign country :
Provided, hou/eirr, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to the transportation of passengers
or property, or to the receiving, delivering, storage, or handling of property, wholly within one State,
and not shipped to or from a foreign country from or to any State or Territory as aforesaid.

The term "railroad " as used in this act shall include all bridges and ferries used or operated in
connection with any railroad, and also all the road in use by any corporation operating a railroad,
whether owned or operated under a contract, agreement, or lease ; and the term " transportation "
shall include all instrumentalities of shipment or carriage.

All charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passengers
or property as aforesaid, or in connection therewith, or for the receiving, delivering, storage, or
handling of such property, shall be reasonable and just ; and every unjust and unreasonable charge
for such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful.

by any special rate, rebate, drawback, or other device, charge, demand, collect, or receive from any
person or persons a greater or less compensation for any service rendered, or to be rendered, in the
transportation of passengers or property, subject to the provisions of this act, than it charges,
demands, collects, or receives from any other person or persons for doing for him or them a like and
contemporaneous service in the transportation of a like kind of traffic under substantially similar
circumstances and conditions, such common carrier shall be deemed guilty of unjust dLscrimination,
which is hereby prohibited and declared to be unlawful.

Sec. 3. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act to
make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, company,
firm, corporation, or locality, or any particular description of traffic, in any respect whatsoever, or to

respective lines, and for the receiving, forwarding, and delivering of passengers and property to and
from their several lines and those connecting therewith, and shall not discriminate in their rates and
charges between such connecting lines ; but this shall not t>e construed as requiring any such common
carrier to give the use of its tracks or terminal facilities to another carrier engaged in like business.

BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

Src. 4. That it shall be unlawful for auy common carrier subject to the provisions of this act to
charge or receive any greater compensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers or
of like kind of property, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, for a shorter than
for a longer distance over the same line, in the same direction, the shorter being included within the
longer distance ; hut this shall not be construed as authorizing any common carrier within the terms
of this act to charge and receive as great compensation for a shorter as for a longer distance : Provided^
hoivevevy That upon application to the Commission appointed under the provisions of this act. such
common carrier may, in special cases, after investigation by the Commission, be authorized to charg-e

Commission may from time to time prescribe the extent to which such designated common carrier
may be relieved from the operation of this section of this act.

Sec. 5. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act to
enter into any contract, agreement, or combination with any other common carrier or carriers for the
pooling of freights of different and competing railroads, or to divide between them the aggregate or
net proceeds of th^ earnings of such railroads, or auy portion thereof; and in any case of an agree-
ment for the pooling of freights as aforesaid, each day of its continuance shall be deemed a separate
offense.

Sec. 6 {as amended). That every common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall print
and keep open to public inspection schedules showing the rates and fares and charges for the trans-

*

portation of passengers and property which any such common carrier has established and which are
in force at the time upon its route. The schedules printed as aforesaid by any such common carrier
shall plainly state the places upon its railroad between which property and passengers will be carried,
and shall contain the classification of freight in force, and shall also state sep>arately the terminal
charges and any rules or regulations which in anywise change, affect, or determine any part or the
^STK'i'cgate of such aforesaid rates and fares and charges. Such schedules shall be plainly printed in
'large type, and copies for the use of the public shall be posted in two public and conspicuous places,
in every depot, station, or office of such carrier where passengers or freight, respectively, are received
for tran.sportation, in such form that they shall be accessible to the public and can be conveniently
inspected.

Any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act receiving freight in the United States to
be carried through a foreign country to any place in the United States shall also in like manner print
and keep open to public in.spection, at every depot or office where such freight is received for ship-
ment, schedules showing the through rates established and charged by such common carrier to all
points in the United States beyond the foreign country to which it accepts freight for shipment ; and
any freight shipped from the United States through a foreign country into the United States, the
through rate on which shall not have been made public as required by this act, shall, before it is
admitted into the United States from said foreign country, be subject to customs duties as if .said

then in force, and the time when the increased rates, fares, or charges will go into effect; and the
proposed changes shall be shown by printing new schedules, or shall be plainly indicated upon the
schedules in force at the time and kept open to public inspection. Reductions in such published
rates, fares, or charges, shall only be made after three days' previous public notice, to be given in the
.same manner that notice of an advance in rates must be griven.

And when any such common carrier shall have established and published its rates, fares, and
charges, in compliance with the provisions of this .section, it shall be unlawful for such common car-
rier to charge, demand, collect, or receive, from any person or persons, a greater or less compensation
for the transportation of passengers or property, or for any services in connection therewith, than is
specified in such published schedule of rates, fares, and charges, as may at the time be in force.

Every common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall file with the Commission herein-
after provided for copies of its schedules of rates, fares, and charges which have been established and
published in compliance with the requirements of this section, and shall promptly notify said Com-

to any traffic affected by the provi«»ions of this act to which it may be a party. And in cases where
passengers and freight pass over continuous lines or routes operated by more than one common car-
rier, and the several common carriers operating such lines or routes establish joint tariffs of rates or
fares or charges for such continuous lines or routes, copies of such joint tariffs shall also, in like man-

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. 65 1

ner, be filed with said Commission. Such joint rates, fares, and charges on such continuous lines so
filed as aforesaid shall be made public by such common carriers when directed by said Commission, in
so far as may, in the judgment of the Commission, be deemed practicable; and said Commission shall
from time to time prescribe the measure of publicity which shall be given to such rates, fares, and
charges, or to such p>art of them as it may deem it practicable for such common carriers to publish,
and the places in which they shall be published.

No advance shall be made in joint rates, fares, and charges, shown upou joint tariffs, except after
ten days' notice to the Commission, which shall plainly state the changes proposed to be made in the
schedule then in force, and the time when the increased rates, fares, or charges will go into effect.
No reduction shall be made in joint rates, fares, and charges, except afler three days' notice, to be
given to the Commission as is above provided in the case of an advance of joint rates. The Commis-
sion may -make public such proposed advances, or such reductions, in such manner, as may, in its
judgment, be deemed practicable, and may prescribe from time to time the measure of publicity which
common carriers shall give to advances or reductions in joint tariffs.

It shall be unlawful for any common carrier, party to any joint tariff, to charge, demand, collect,
or receive from any person or persons a greater or less compensation for the transportation of persons
or property, or for any services in connection therewith, between any points as to which a joint rate,
fare, or charge is named thereon than is specified in the schedule filed with the Commi.ssion in force
at the time.

The Commission may determine and prescribe the form in which the schedules required by this
section to be kept open to public inspection shall be prepared and arranged, and may change the form
rom t ime to time as shall be found expedient.

If any such common carrier shall neglect or refuse to file or publish its .schedules or tariffs of rates,
fares, and charges as provided in this section, or any part of the same, such common carrier shall, in
addition to other penalties herein prescribed, be subject to a writ of mandamus, to be issued by any
circuit court of the United States in the judicial district wherein the principal office of said common
carrier is situated, or wherein such offense may be committed, and if such common carrier be a foreign
corx>oration in the judicial circuit wherein such common carrier accepts traffic and has an agent to
perform such service, to compel compliance with the aforesaid provisions of this section ; and such
writ shall issue in the name of the people of the United States, at the relation of the Commis.sioners
appointed under the provisions of this act ; and the failure to comply with its requirements shall be
punishable as and for a contempt ; and the said Commissioners, as complainants, may also apply, in
any such circuit court of the United States, for a writ of injunction against such common carrier, to
restrain such common carrier from receiving or transporting property among the several States and
Territories of the United States, or between the United States and adjacent foreign countries, or
between ports of transshipment and of entry and the several States and Territories of the United
States, as mentioned in the first section of this act, until such common carrier shall have complied
with the aforesE^id provisions of this section of this act.

S£C. 7. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act to
enter into any combination, contract, or agreement, expressed or implied, to prevent, by change of
time schedule, carriage in different cars, or by other means or devices, the carriage of freights from
being continuous from the place of shipment to the place of destination ; and no break of bulk, stop-
page, or interruption made by such common carrier shall prevent the carriage of freights from being
and being treated as one continuous carriage from the place of shipment to the place of destination,
unless such break, stoppage, or interruption was made in good faith for some necessary purpose, and
without any intent to avoid or unnecessarily interrupt such continuous carriage or to evade any of the
provisions of this act.

Sec. 8. That in case any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall do, cause to be
done, or permit to be done any act, matter, or thing in this act prohibited or declared to be unlawful,
or shall omit to do any act, matter, or thing in this act required to be done, such common carrier shall
be liable to the person or persons injured thereby for the full amount of damages sustained in conse-
quence of any such violation of the provisions of this act. together with a reasonable coun.sel or attor-
ney's fee, to be fixed by the court in every case of recovery, which attorney's fee shall be taxed and
collected as part of the costs in the case.

Sec. 9. That any person or persons claiming to be damaged by any common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act may either make complaint to the Commission as hereinafter provided for, or
may bring suit in his or their own behalf for the recovery of the damages for which such common car-
rier may be liable under the provisions of this act, in any district or circuit court of the United States
of competent jurisdiction : but such person or persons shall not have the right to pursue both of said
remedies, and must in each case elect which one of the two methods of procedure herein provided for

he or they will adopt. In any such action brought for the recovery of damages the court before which
the same shall be pending may compel any director, of&cer, receiver, trustee, or agent of the corpora-
tion or company defendant in such suit to attend, appear, and testify in such case, and may compel
the production of the books and papers of such corporation or company party to any such suit ; the
claim that any such testimony or evidence may tend to criminate the person giving such evidence
shall not excuse such witness from testifying, but such evidence or testimony shall not be used against
such person on the trial of any criminal proceeding.

Sec. 10 {as amended). That any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act, or, whenever
such common carrier is a corporation, any director or officer thereof, or any receiver, trustee, lessee,

aid or abet therein, or shall wilfully omit or fail to do any act, matter, or thing in this act required to
be done, or shall cause or willingly suffer or permit any act, matter, or thing so directed or required by
this act to be done not to be so done, or shall aid or abet any such omission or failure, or shall be guilty
of any infraction of this act, or shall aid or abet therein, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall, upon conviction thereof in any district court of the United States within the jurisdiction of
which such offense was committed, be subject to a fine of not to exceed five thousand dollars for each
offense : Provided, That if the offense for which any person shall be convicted as aforesaid shall be an
unlawful discrimination in rates, fares, or charges, for the transportation of passengers or property,
such person shall, in addition to the fine hereinbefore provided for, be liable to imprisonment in the
penitentiarj' for a term of not exceeding two years, or both, such fine and imprisonment, in the discre>
tion of the court.

son or persons to obtain transportation for property at less than the regular rates then established
and in force on the line of transportation of such common carrier, shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof in any court of the United States of competent jurisdic-
tion within the district in which such offense was committed, be subject to a fine of not exceeding five
thousand dollars, or imprisonment in the penitentiar>' for a term of not exceeding two years, or both,
in the discretion of the court, for each offense.

Any person and any officer or agent of any corporation or company who shall deliver property for
transportation to any common carrier, subject to the provisions of this act, or for whom as consignor
or consignee any such carrier shall transport property, who shall knowingly and wilfully, by false
billing, false classification, false weighing, false representation of the contents of the package, or
false report of weight, or by any other device or means, whether with or without the consent or con-
nivance of the carrier, its agent or agents, obtain transportation for such property at less than the
regular rates then established and in force on the line of transportation, shall be deemed guilty of
fraud, which is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof in any court
of the United States of competent jurisdiction within the district in which such offense was commit-
ted, be subject for each offense to a fine of not exceeding five thousand dollars or imprisonment in the
penitentiary for a term of not exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion of the court.

committed, be subject to a fine of not exceeding five thousand dollars, or imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary for a terra of not exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion of the court, for each offense ;
and such person, corporation, or company shall also, together with said common carrier, be liable,

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. 653

under this act shall continue in office for the term of two, three, four, five and six years, respectively,
from the first day of January, anno Domini eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, the term of each to
be designated by the President ; but their successors shall be appointed for terms of six years except
that any person chosen to fill a vacancy shall be appointed only for the unexpired time of the Com-
missioner whom he shall succeed. Any Commissioner may be removed by the President for ineffi-
ciency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. Not more than three of the Commissioners shall be
appointed from the same political party. No person in the employ of or holding any official relation
to any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act, or owning stock or bonds thereof, or who
is in any manner pecuniarily interested therein, shall enter upon the duties of or hold such office.
Said Commissioners shall not engage in any other business, vocation, or employment. No vacancy
an the Commission shall impair the right of the remaining Commissioners to exercise all the powers
of the Commission.

Sec. 13 {as amended). That the Commission hereby created shall have authority to inquire into
the management of the business of all common carriers subject to the provisions of this act, and
shall keep itself informed as to the manner and method in which the same is conducted, and shall
have the right to obtain from such common carriers full and complete information necessary to enable
the Commission to perform the duties and carry out the objects for which it was created; and the
Commission is hereby authorized and required to execute and enforce the provisions of this act; and
upon the request of the Commission, it shall be the duty of any district attorney of the United States
to whom the Commission may apply to institute in the proper court and to prosecute under the direc-
tion of the Attorney General of the United States all necessary proceedings for the enforcement Of
the provisions of this act and for the punishment of all violations thereof, and the costs and expenses
of such prosecution shall be paid out of the appropriation for the expenses of the courts of the United
States; and for the purposes of thjLs act, the Commission shall have power to require, by subpcena,
the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of all books, papers, tariffs, contracts
agreements, and documents, relating to any matter under investigation.

Such attendance of witnesses, and the production of such documentary evidence, may be required
from any place in the United States, at any designated place of hearing. And in case of disobedience
to a subpoena the Commission, or any party to a proceeding before the Commission, may invoke the
aid of any court of the United States in requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
production of books, papers, and documents, under the provisions of this section.

And any of the circuit courts of the United States within the jurisdiction of which such inquiry is
carried on may, in case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to any common carrier
subject to the provisions of this act, or other person, issue an order requiring such common carrier,
or other person, to appear before said Commission (and produce books and papers if so ordered) and
give evidence touching the matter in question; and any failure to obey such order of the court may be
punished by such court as a contempt thereof. The claim that any such testimony or evidence may tend
to criminate the person giving such evidence shall not excuse such witness from testifying; but such
evidence or testimony shall not be used against such person on the trial of any criminal proceeding.

The testimony of any witness may be taken, at the instance of a party, in any proceeding or
investigation depending before the Commission, by deposition, at any time after a cause or proceeding
is at issue on petition and answer. The Commission may also order testimony to be taken by deposi-
tion in any proceeding or investigation pending before it, at any stage of such proceeding or investi-
gation. Such depositions may be taken before any judge of any court of the United States, or any
commissioner of a circuit, or any clerk of a district or circuit court, or any chancellor, justice, or judge
of a supreme or superior court, mayor or chief magistrate of a city, judge of a county court, or court
of common pleas of any of the United States, or any notary public, not being of counsel or attorney
to either of the parties, nor interested in the event of the proceeding or investigation. Reasonable
notice must first be given in writing by the party or his attorney proposing to take such deposition to
the opposite party or his attorney of record, as either may be nearest, which notice shall state the
name of the witness and the time and place of the taking of his deposition. Any person may be
compelled to api>ear and depose, and to produce documentary evidence, in the same manner as wit-
nesses may be compelled to appear and testify and produce documentary evidence before the Com-
mission as hereinbefore provided.

Every person deposing as herein provided shall be cautioned and sworn (or affirm, if he so
request) to testify the whole truth, and shall be carefully examined. Itis testimony shall be reduced
to writing by the magistrate taking the deposition, or under his direction, and shall, after it has been
reduced to writing, be subscribed by the deponent.

If a witness whose testimony may be desired to be taken by deposition be in a foreign country,
the deposition may be taken before an officer or person designated by the Commission, or agreed upon

654

BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

by the parties by stipulation iu writinjr to be filed with the Commission. All depositions must b«
promptly filed with the Commission.

Witnesses whose depositions are taken pursuant to this act, and the magistrate or other officer
taking: the same, shall severally be entitled to the same fees as are paid for like services in the courts
of the United States.

Sec. 13. That any person, firm, corporation, or association, or any mercantile, agricultural, or
manufacturing society, or any body politic or municipal organization complaining of anything done
or omitted to be done by any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act iu contravention of
the provisions thereof, may apply to said Commission by petition, which shall briefly state the facts;
whereupon a statement of the charges thus made shall be forwarded by the Commission to such
common carrier, who shall be called upon to satisfy the complaint or to answer the same in writing
within a reasonable time, to be specified bj' the Commission. If such common carrier, within the
time specified, shall make reparation for the injury alleged to have been done, said carrier shall be
relieved of liability to the complainant only for the particular violation of law thus complained of. If
such carrier shall not satisfy the complaint within the time specified, or there shall appear to be any-
reasonable ground for investigating said complaint, it shall be the duty of the Commission to investi-
gate the matters complained of in such manner and by such means as it shall deem proper.

Said Commission shall in like manner investigate any complaint forwarded by the Railroad Com-
missioner or Railroad Commission of any State or Territory, at the request of such Commissioner or
Commission, and may institute any inquiry on its own motion in the same manner and to the same
efifect as though complaint had been made.

No complaint shall at any time be dismissed because of the absence of direct damage to the com-
plainant.

Sec. 14 {as amended). That whenever an investigation shall be made by said Commission, it shall
be its duty to make a report in writing in respect thereto, which shall include the findings of fact upon
which the conclusions of the Commission are based, together with its recommendation as to what
reparation, if any, should be made by the common carrier to any party or parties who may be found
to have been injured; and such findings so made shall thereafter, in all judicial proceedings, be
deemed prima facte evidence as to each and every fact found.

All reports of investigations made by the Commission shall be entered of record, and a copy
thereof shall be furnished to the party who may have complained, and to any common carrier that
may have been complained of.

The Commission may provide for the publication of its reports and decisions in such form and
manner as may be best adapted for public information and use, and such authorized publications
shall be competent evidence of the reports and decisions of the Commission therein contained, in all
courts of the United States, and of the several States, without any further proof or authentication
thereof. The Commission may also cause to be printed for early distribution its annual reports.

Sec. 15. That if in any case in which an investigation shall be made by said Commission it shall
be made to appear to the satisfaction of the Commission, either by the testimony of witnesses or other
evidence, that anything has been done or omitted to be done in violation of the provisions of this act,
or of any law cognizable by said Commission, by any common carrier, or that any injury or damage
has been sustained by the party or parties complaining, or by other parties aggrieved in consequence
of any such violation, it shall be the duty of the Commission to forthwith cause a copy of its report in
respect thereto to be delivered to such common carrier, together with a notice to said common carrier
to cease and desist from such violation, or to make reparation for the injury so found to have been
done, or both, within a reasonable time, to be specified by the Commission; and if, within the time
specified, it shall be made to appear to the Commission that such common carrier has ceased from
such viulation of law, and has made reparation for the injury found to have been done, in compliance
with the report and notice of the Commission, or to the satisfaction of the party complaining, a state-
ment to that effect shall be entered of record by the Commission, and the said common carrier shall
thereupon be relieved from further liability or penalty for such particular violation of law.

Sec. 16 (as amended). That whenever any common carrier, as defined in and subject to the pro-
visions of this act, shall violate, or refuse or neglect to obey or perform any lawful order or require-
ment of the Commission created by this act, not founded upon a controversy requiring a trial by jury,
as provided by the seventh amendment to the Constitution of the United States, it shall be lawful for
the Commission or for any company or person interested in such order or requirement, to apply iu a
summary way, by petition, to the circuit court of the United States sitting in equity in the judicial
district in which the common carrier complained of has its principal office, or in which the violation
or disobedience of such order or requirement shall happen, alleging such violation or disobedience, as
the case may be; and the said court shall have power to hear and determine the matter, on such short

notice to the common carrier complained of as the court shall deem reasonable; and such notice may
be served on such common carrier, his or its officers, ag^ents. or servants in such manner as the court
shall direct; and said court shall proceed to hear and determine the matter speedily as a court of
equity, and without the formal pleadingra and proceedings applicable to ordinary suits in equity, but
in such manner as to do justice in the premises; and to this end such court shall have power, if it
think fit, to direct and prosecute in such mode and by such persons as it may appoint, all such
inquiries as the court may thinlt needful to enable it to form a just judgment in the matter of such
petition; and on such hearing the findings of fact in the report of said Commission shall be prima
facie evidence of the matters therein stated; and if it be made to appear to such court, on such hear-
ing or on report of atiy such person or persons, that the lawful order or requirement of said
Commission drawn in question has been violated or disobeyed, it shall be lawful for such court to issue
a writ of injunction or other proper process, mandatory or otherwise, to restrain such common carrier
from further continuing such violation or disobedience of such order or requirement of said Commis-
sion, and enjoining obedience to the same; and in case of any disobedience of any such writ of injunc-
tion or other proper process, mandatory or otherwise, it shall be lawful for such court to issue writs of
attachment, or any other process of said court incident or applicable to writs of injutiction or other
proper process, mandatory or otherwise, against such common carrier, and if a corporation, against
one or mere of the directors, officers, or agents of the same, or against any owner, lessee, trustee,
receiver, or other person failing to obey such writ of injunction, or other proper process, mandatory
or otherwise; and said court may, if it shall think fit, make an order directing such common carrier or
other person so disobeying such writ of injunction or other proper process, mandator>' or otherwise, to
pay such sum of money, not exceeding for each carrier or person in default the sum of five hundred
dollars for every day. after a day to be named in the order, that such carrier or other person shall fail
to obey such injunction or other proper process, mandatory or otherwise; and such moneys shall be
payable as the court shall direct, either to the party complaining or into court, to abide the ultimate
decision of the court, or into the treasury; and payment thereof may, without prejudice to any other
mode of recovering the same, be enforced by attachment or order in the nature of a writ of execution,
in like manner as if the same had been recovered by a final decree in personam in such court. When
the subject in dispute shall be of the value of two thousand dollars or more, either party to such pro-
ceeding before said court may appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, under the same
regrulations now provided by law in respect of security for such appeal; but such appeal shall not
operate to stay or supersede the order of the court or the execution of any writ or process thereon;
and such court may, in every such matter, order the payment of such costs and counsel fees as shall
be deemed reasonable. Whenever any such petition shall be filed or presented by the Commission it
shall be the duty of the district attorney, under the direction of the Attorney General of the United
States, to prosecute the same; and the costs and expenses of such prosecution shall be paid out of the
appropriation for the expenses of the courts of the Uniied States.

If the matters involved in any such order or requirement of said Commission are founded upon a
controversy requiring a trial by jury, as provided by the seventh amendment to the Constittition of
the United States, and any such common carrier shall Wolate or refuse or neglect to obey or perform
the same, after notice given by said Commission as provided in the fifteenth section of this act, it
shall be lawful for any company or person interested in such order or requirement to apply in a sum-
mary way by petition to the Circuit Court of the United States sitti ng as a court of law in the judicial
district in which the carrier complained of has its principal office, or in which the violation or disobe-
dience of such order or requirement shall happ>en, alleging such violation or disobedience as the case
may be; and said court shall by its order then fix a time and place for the trial of said cause, which
shall not be les.« than twenty nor more than forty days from the time said order is made, and it shall
be the duty of the marshal of the district in which said proceeding is pending to forthwith serve a
copy of said petition, and of said order, upon each of the defendants, and it shall be the duty of the
defendants to file their answers to said petition within ten days after the service of the same upon
them as aforesaid. At the trial the findings of fact of said Commission as set forth in its report shall
be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated, and if either party shall demand a jur\' or shall
omit to waive a jury, the court shall, by its order, direct the marshal forthwith to summon a jury to
try the cause; but if all the parties shall waive a jury in writing, then the court shall try the issues in
said cause and render its judgment thereon. If the subject in dispute shall be of the value of two
thousand dollars or more either party may appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States under
the same regulations now provided by law in respect to security for such appeal; but such appeal must
be taken within twenty days from the day of the rendition of the judgment of said circuit court. If
the judgment of the circuit court shall be in favor of the party complaining, he or they shall be enti-
tled to recover a reasonable counsel or attorney's fee, to be fixed by the court, which shall be collected

and paid on the presentation of itemized vouchers therefor approved by the chairman of the Com-
mission.

Sec. iq. That the principal office of the Commission shall be in the city of Washington, where its

business of any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act.

Sec. 20. That the Commission is hereby authorized to require annual reports from all common

tal stock issued, the amounts paid therefor, and the manner of payment for the same ; the dividends

annual balance sheet. Such reports shall also contain such information in relation to rates or regula-
tions concerning fares or freights, or agreements, arrangements, or contracts with other common car-
riers, as the Commission may require ; and the said Commission may, within its discretion, for the
purpose of enabling it the better to carry out the purposes of this act, prescribe (if in the opinion of
the Commission it is practicable to prescribe such uniformity and methods of keeping accounts) a
period of time within which all common carriers subject to the provisions of this act shall have, as
near as may be, a uniform system of accounts, and the manner in which such accounts shall be kept.

Sec. 21 {as amended). That the Commission shall, on or before the first day of December in each
year, make a report, which shall be transmitted to Congress, and copies of which shall be distributed
as are the other reports transmitted to Congress. This report shall contain such information and data
collected by the Commission as may be considered of value in the determination of questions con-
nected with the regulation of commerce, together with such recommendations as to additional legis-
lation relating thereto as the Commission may deem necessary ; and the names and compensation of

prevent railroads from giving free carriage to their own officers and employees, or to prevent the prin-

rier, of any of the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement and all acts amendatory thereof,
as prevents the relator from having interstate traffic moved by said common carrier at the same rates
as are charged, or ui>on terms or conditions as fetvorableas those given by said comtaidn carrier for
like traffic under similacconditions to any other shipper, to issue a writ or writs of mandamus against
said common carrier, commanding such common carrier to move and transport the traffic, or to fur-
nish cars or other facilities for transportation for the party applying for the yrrii: JVovt'ded, That if any

court, or otherwise, as the court may think proper, pending the determination of the question offset:
Provided^ That the remedy hereby given by writ of mandamus shall be cumulative, and shall not be
